Answer :
Given data:
The sales tax is 8.25 %
Purchase = $26.52
To get the tax charged, we can apply the formula below:
[tex]\text{Tax chaged=Sales tax }\times\text{ Purchase}[/tex]Thus, applying the formula, we will obtain
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Tax charged =8.25\% }\times26.52 \\ =\frac{8.25}{100}\times26.52 \\ =\frac{218.79}{100} \\ =2.1879 \end{gathered}[/tex]This gives $2.19.
Hence, a tax of $2.19 will be charged on the purchase
