Question

savannah buys a lamp priced at $59. if the sales tax is 6%, how much tax will savannah pay?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert tax rate to decimal

The sales tax rate is 6%, which as a decimal is $0.06$ (since $6\%=\frac{6}{100} = 0.06$).

Step2: Calculate tax amount

To find the tax, multiply the price of the lamp by the tax rate. The price of the lamp is $\$59$, so the tax is $59\times0.06$.
Calculating that: $59\times0.06 = 3.54$.

Answer:

$\$3.54$
