You need to purchase a textbook for nursing school. The book cost $80.00, and the sales tax where toy are purchasing the book is 8.25%. You have $100. How much change will you receive back?
-------------------------------------------------------------

You pay for tax 80%2A%288.25%2F100%29 = $6.60.

Your payment in whole is $80 + $6.60 = $86.60.

Your change is $100 - $86.60 = $13.40.
