If the price of a $15 T-shirt is reduced by 1/5, how much sales tax must be paid onthe T-shirt in a state having a 3% sales tax?
First you need to find the price of the shirt;
$15 * 1/5=$15*20%=$3
So the shirt is reduced $3, $15-$3=$12
So the price of the shirt is; $12
Now the sales tax on $12 would be;
$12*3%=$.36
=)
