Multiply:

8 x .0825 = ??
8 1/4 cents is $.0825.

Multiply $.0825 by $8. What answer do you get?
i got 0.0825
0.0825 is how you express the tax percentage in the problem. Multiply that number by 8 to find out how much tax she paid.

How much do you get? It's not 0.0825!

i got 0.66
Good -- $0.66 is correct.
the answer to that question is .66
Q: well how did you get 81/4 to .0825?
