David lives in Manhattan, where the combined state/local sales tax is 8.375 percent. David just purchased a digital camera that was priced at $800. Determine the sales tax he paid by calculating 8.375 percent of $800 (multiply by 0.08375). How much sales tax did he pay?
Could I please get a general explanation or direction on how to answer this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
