Tax charged:
150 * 8/100 = 12
Ans = $12

.08 X 150.00 = $12 tax
total (cost plus tax) is 150 + 12 = $162

I won't give you the answer. Here's how to solve it (in sequence):
1. Divide 8 by 100 (percent means "for every hundred").
2. Once you get the quotient, multiply it by the amount (which is 150.00).
3. The product you obtain is the Sales Tax.
...and that is how you obtain the percentage amount of any quantity.

If sales tax is 8%, then 8% is charged on a $150 coat. Easy ...see? :)

8%, converted to decimal is 0.08
If you coat is $150.00 x 0.08=12, thus $12 tax

Yippee! You don't know how to do this? I'll tell you. 8% can also be written .08 -- did you know that?
You multiply $150.00 by .08 (check out where you put the decimal. It should go four spaces to the left) and there you have your answer.
Yr welcome!

Multiply and use fraction instead of percent...
$150. x .08 = $12.
