Q. If the sales tax rate is

7.375\%

in New York State, then how much sales tax would you pay in Albany for a

(\$34)

pair of pants?

Calculate Sales Tax: Calculate the sales tax amount by multiplying the price of the pants by the sales tax rate. $\newline$ Sales tax = Price of pants $\times$ Sales tax rate $\newline$ = $\$(34) \times \frac{7.375}{100}$ $\newline$ = $\$(34) \times 0.07375$ $\newline$ = $\$2.5075$
Round Sales Tax: Round the sales tax to the nearest cent. $\newline$ Rounded sales tax = $\$2.51$
