Tax is on each item, although it usually (see bottom for exception) doesn't matter because of the distributive property of multiplication. For example, if you bought a rubber duck for 3 dollars, a bottle of shampoo for 5 dollars, and a bathtub for 500 dollars, and tax was 8.1 percent it the total would be the same either way. Here's the math:
1.081(3)+1.081(5)+1.081(500)=1.081(508)
3.243+5.405+540.5=549.148
549.148 = 549.148
One exception: If the items have different taxes on them (for example, if you bought prepared food as well as retail items), it would matter because they couldn't be taxed altogether. This is why items are TECHNICALLY taxed separately; however, most of the time a cash register or the bill will show the tax being applied at the end, since most of the time all items have the same tax on them.
If that is supposed to be 7.65% sales tax, which I'm sure it is, the total on a purchase of $2567 would be $2763.38
find the total for items costing $149.99 with sales tax of 5.75%
Total with sales tax $48.76 minus total without sales tax $46.00 = sales tax $2.76. Sales tax $2.76 divided by purchase $46.00 = sales tax rate 6%.
Multiply the total taxable items times the tax rate expressed as a decimal. For example, if the sales tax rate is 6%, and the taxable items total $25, the sales tax is $1.50 (25 x .06).
it is sales less sales returns
