6% is 6/100 = .06
\n" ); document.write( ".06(87.50) = 5.25 for tax
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "total
\n" ); document.write( "87.50 + 5.25 = \"highlight_green%2892.75%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "y = .06x + x ==> add the coefficients of x
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y+=+1.06x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "where y is total after tax and x is the price of the item
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.06(87.50)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 92.75\r
