Question 1016948: A hotel manager found her gross receipts for the day, including 6% sales tax, were 3694.10. Find the amount of sales tax collected.

The amount she has is made of two portions, 100 as the main receipt, 6 as tax, and to form an equation, 100/106 is the main receipt and 6/106 is tax.
$3694.10 * 6/106 = $209.10
