If the price of an automobile including sales tax is 2729.50 What is the amount of the sales tax?
It depends on the sales tax rate, which varies by state. If the
sales tax rate is 6%, the vehicle costs 2,575 and the sales tax is
154.50 If the sales tax rate is different, divide 2729.50 by (1+the
rate expressed as a decimal). Then, multiply that answer by the
sales tax rate. 2729.50 divided by 1.06 = 2,575. then, 2,575 x .06
= 154.50
