Question 704745: A restaurant sells pizza specials at a flat rate with the 6% sales tax built into the price. The total sales for the pizza specials for the day are $316.93. How can I figure out how much of the total $316.93 was for 6% tax. Answer by josgarithmetic(39621) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The flat rate is 100 parts just-pizza plus 6 parts tax. The sales of the day $316.93 are 100 parts of sales in just-pizza plus 6 parts tax.
Total parts of the price are 106, and 6 of them are tax.
Your amount of sales that was actually tax is dollars.
