Question 557383
Think about it. Why did they give both the price of the jeans and how much the total was?
</br>
Taking the given information: (The total price of just the jeans is the subtotal) 
116.55-(37*3)
116.55-111
5.55 
</br>
So now you have 5.55 is the amount of tax paid on the jeans in total.
</br>
So you take the amount of taxes (5.55) and divide by the subtotal (111)
</br>
5.55/111= .05 or 5%
