sales tax 5.5% of $125
It depends: If you're looking for the Total charge, it is: find 5.5% of $125 and add it, AKA multiply by 1.055, comes out to $131.875, or $131.88
If you're looking for just 5.5%, then multiply by 0.055, comes out to $6.875, or $6.88.

Divide 5.5% by 100 to turn the percent into a decimal.
5.5/100=0.055
Multiply 125 by 0.055.
$125*0.055=$6.875
The tax is $6.88.
