To break down the week's sales and the state sales tax, we can follow these steps:

  1. Total Sales: $62,000
  2. Sales on Credit: \( \frac{3}{4} \times 62,000 = 46,500 \)
  3. Sales for Cash: \( \frac{1}{4} \times 62,000 = 15,500 \)

Next, we need to calculate the sales tax on the total sales:

  1. Sales Tax Rate: 6% (or 0.06)
  2. Total Sales Tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 62,000 \times 0.06 = 3,720 \]

Now, we can summarize the information:

  • Total Sales: $62,000
  • Sales on Credit: $46,500
  • Sales for Cash: $15,500
  • Sales Tax: $3,720

Summary:

  • Total Sales: $62,000
  • Sales on Credit: $46,500
  • Sales for Cash: $15,500
  • Sales Tax (6%): $3,720
