Aflashlight costs $12.00. the sales tax is 6%. what is the amount of the sales tax?

12.00x0.06, which is 0.72, so the sales tax is 72 cents. Basically, what you do to answer these kinds of questions is divide the percentage by 100 (6/100=0.06), because the percentage is out of 100%. Then you multiply that number by the price to get the sales tax. If you wanted to find the total price, add the tax you found to the original price ( in this case would give us $12.72 )

Hope this helps!
