Calculation of Sales Tax is very simple by using decimals. Multiply the taxable turnover with the rate of tax and put decimal before 2 degits. In other words multiply the taxable turnover with rate of percentage of tax and put decimal before

2 digits.

Example: 10000 x 5 = 50000 put decimal before 2 digits 500.00.

10000 x 16 = 160000 put decimal before 2 digits 1600.00

What Relating percents ratios and decimals?

Percentages are a way of expressing a part-to-whole relationship, often represented as a ratio or fraction out of 100. Ratios, on the other hand, compare two or more quantities, often expressed in the form of a fraction or ratio. Decimals are a way of representing fractions or ratios using a base-10 numbering system. All three - percents, ratios, and decimals - can be used interchangeably when expressing mathematical relationships or values. For example, a ratio of 2:5 can be expressed as a percentage of 40%, and as a decimal of 0.4.


How can you solve problems using percents?
