You can put this solution on YOUR website! Midtown Antiques collects 6% sales tax on all sales.
If total sales including tax are $2300.14,
find the portion that is sales tax. Round to the nearest cent.
:
Find the amt of the sales (s) without the sale's tax
1.06s = 2300.14
s =
s = 2169.94
therefore
2300.14 - 2169.94 = $130.20 amt of sales tax
Or
2169.94 * .06 = $130.20
