You buy 3 bags of takis for $2.25 each. the sales tax is 8%. How much was the sales tax

0.54 is the sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25 x 3 = 6.75

When trying to do percentages move the decimal place to the right 2 times.

6.75 x 0.08= 0.54.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
