Question 863002: contractors generally include sales tax of 6.5% on all their contracts on existing construction in the state of Kansas. Company prepared a landscaping proposal for Mr. Jones for a total of $45,000. How much is the sales tax amount?
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 45,000 * 1.065 (1 for the amount, .065 for the tax) = 47,925
.
If you meant that the final number is $45,000 *including* tax, then:
45,000 = 1.065x
Divide each side by 1.065 = 42,253.52 + tax
