Answer: 6.77
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , Tax rate = 6.8%
To convert it into decimal or fraction , we divide it by 100 , we get
Tax rate [tex]=\dfrac{68}{100}=0.68[/tex]
Now , Total amount = $9.95
Then, Tax amount = (Tax rate) x ( Total amount )
= (0.68) x (9.95)
= $6.766 ≈ $6.77 [approx]
Hence, the tax amount on $9.95 is 6.77.
