Steve paid 10% tax on a purchase of $40. select the dollar amount of the tax and the total dollar amount steve paid on the number line. steve paid $ in taxes and $ total.

Tax= $4

Total payed: $44

Step-by-step explanation:

It´s very simple, you just have to calculate the tax by multiplying the cost of the purchase by the percentage, you just do a rule of thirds:

Now we just clear the X to solve for the value of the 10%:

So we know that the tax is 10% of $40 which is $4.

The total payed is calculated by adding up the cost plus the taxes:

Total payed= Cost+Taxes

Total payed= $40+$4

Total payed: $44
