Best Answer

In math, you tax by the following steps:

1) Read the problem, let's say 29% of $89

2) Write percent as a decimal, 29% = .29

3) Multiply 89x.29=25.81

4) That is 29% of $89

BUT,

if sales tax is 9%,

then you bought a shirt that cost $29.89.

You'd do the following:

1) Write 9% as a decimal (move it over 2 times) .09

2) 29.90x.09= $2.61

That is SALES TAX

So, you add it on to the total

29.90+2.61=$32.51

Simple as that!
