Hi,

 % refers to parts per hundred.     | 50%, for example, is 50/100 , 1/2 0r .5

(Note: the little 2 zeros in the percentage sign-helps one to remember)

6.85% = 6.85/100 = .0685

What is the state sales tax on a $16,900 car in Salt Lake County

  $16,900 (.0685) = $1,157.65

What is the final cost of the car, including tax?

   $16,900  + $1,157.65 =  $18,057.65
