To find the % sales tax, you simply need to find that percentage of the price.
5% of $98.75 is $4.94
98.75x0.05=4.94
8% of $98.75 is $7.90
98.75x0.08=7.90
6.5% of $98.75 is $6.42
98.75x0.065=6.42
Therefore, of the sale amount $98.75,
5% sales tax is $4.94
8% sales tax is $7.90
6.5% sales tax is $6.42
If you want to find the total price, add the sales tax to the sale price.
