7% tax on a $9.79 purchase.
Find the total price.
Solution:
Convert the percentage to decimal first. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 7/100
= 0.07
Multiply 0.07 to 9.79 then add the product to 9.79 in order to determine the total price.
= (0.07)($9.79)
= $0.69
= $9.79 + $ 0.69
Final answer:
= $10.47
