Robert bought a used car for 1500.00 if the sales tax is 5 what will be the total to pay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A tax of 5% on a principal of $1500.00 can be calculated by:

$1500 * 0.05 = $75

where 5% = 0.05.

So the total price would be the principal plus the tax:

$1500 + ($1500 * 5%)

= $1500 + ($1500 * 0.05)

= $1500 + $75

= $1575

How much is tax on Florida groceries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While no one likes taxes, virtually all places that have a sales tax, while they may not tax food as a special exemption, do tax sales of just about any tangible personal property or service, which includes meals. When exactly food becomes a meal is sometimes weird (for example, in many places, a pre-made sandwich at in a supermarket is food, but the exact same one made custom is a meal. One roll is a meal, but 6 or more is food, etc.). Clearly, something like fast food (or a restaurant dinner) is a meal and subject to the tax - again, almost everywhere.
