how do you add tax to a purchase? ex 34.45 plus tax?

Answer 1

i don't know

Answer 2

I'm baffled that anyone who works for a living would be for higher taxes? Neither my, nor my spouse's family come from money... but as a working stiff the best I can hope for is to keep as much of my hard-earned dough as possible. The class warfare thing is a beautiful ploy... everyone wants the other guy to pay for everything. Truth be told the top 5% of wage earners still pay over 50% of the total taxes... per the IRS. I am struggling to hold on to my one and only house and to provide for my family of 5... repealing the "evil" Bush tax cuts WILL HURT ME TOO... not just the filthy rich. Unless you're a ward of the state you should be for lower taxes and responsible gov't spending (which I readily admit Bush has been terrible at). One thing I will consent to thought is that the US is guilty of taxing income, and not wealth (ask the Kennedy clan about that... even though they're worth an almost incalculable amount of money they pay a relatively meager amount of taxes... yes the republicans also do this, but they aren’t portrayed as somehow defending the "little guy"). P.S. The notion that the working poor somehow are shouldering the tax load for the country is bogus... look at a 1040 tax form some time... if you're a low wage earner you basically pay no taxes (other than SS, Medicare, and sales tax... which are unavoidable). Yes, tax cuts benefit the poorest 5% of our population the least, because tax breaks can only be given to those who actually pay taxes.

Answer 3

If you buy something for lets say 100 and the tax is 7% the tax would be $7.
Take your first amount of 34.45 and multiply it by the tax rate.
If your tax rate is 7% then you multiply 34.45 by .07 giving you 2.4115. So then you would add 34.45 and 2.42(always round up so that you know you will have enough money) and you get 36.87. If the tax rate is different then change what you multiply by ex 7% 8.25% 9% 10.5% 11.75% are .07, .0825, .09, .105, .1175(you just move the decimal 2 places to the left, hence the name per cent or per hundredth)

Answer 5

It depends upon which state you are in when purchasing.

For instance, if in Houston, Texas, your tax rate is 8.25%.

So the total + tax for a $10.00 item= $10 + (8.25% * $10) = $10 + $.83= $10.83

Total, including tax = x + (taxrate * x)

Answer 6

well it depends on your state's sales tax rate. here in idaho it is 5% so you add 5% to the dollar amount. so if you buy a Wendy's value burger for 99cents, with sales tax it is $1.04.
So if the price of a tennis ball is exactly $2.00 you multiply it by 5%, and then ad that price to the $2.00 and get $2.10

Answer 7

It depends on the sales tax in the area you live in. Indiana's tax is 6%.

So with $34.45 you multiply 34.45 by 0.06
You end up with 2.067
All money calculations round up so this is easy.
The amount of tax you pay is $2.07.
The total is simply 34.45+2.07=$36.52

Answer 8

Say, for example, tax was 7%. You would multiply the price by 1.07 and that would give you its price "plus tax." If tax was 14%, you'd multiply by 1.14, etc.

Answer 9

First, ask someone what the tax rate is in your state. If it's 8% tax, then you multiply 34.45 x 0.08 = $2.76

Then you add 34.45 + 2.76 = $37.21

So your total cost is $37.21.

Answer 10

Different states have different rates for tax.

For eg. In Michigan, Tax is 6%

so 6% of 34.45
= 0.06 x 34.45
= 2.07

therefore your total is 34.45 + 2.07
which is 36.52


hope it helps!

Answer 11

it depends on how many % tax you have to pay.

Let's say, you have to pax 7% tax. Then your total price will be $34.45 + 7% x $34.45 =$34.45 + 2.41= $36.86
