    This is such a convoluted way of doing it. All you need is to multiply the listed price by [TaxRate / (100 +1)] so if the tax rate is 8% it's listed price x 1.08. If the tax rate is 12% it's listed price x1.12. Or just petition your government to join the rest of the world and actually show what you pay at the till on the label

    Others want to find the _tax rate_ from the _final price._ Also, trying to multiply the final price by the same tax rate decimal shows up a few cents higher than the original price. I say the one step method works best; _original price_ x _1.0xx_ where _xx_ is the _tax rate_ from its decimal perspective. Do the multiplication and get the _final price._ Not only that though, but if you take the _final price_ divided by the _1.0xx_ _tax rate_ you get the _original price._ Same manners you take the _final price_ divided by the _original price_ you get the _tax rate_ This works much better if you have a calculator with a mode capable of limiting your decimals to a fixed digit amount, thus you can increase it to get a more precise _tax rate_ when doing these other functions

    Hello Mr. J hope all is well. I first want to say thank you for giving free online education. Is there a way you can calculate the original price with tax rate but get the total in one shot instead of getting the sales tax and then adding the original price?

  • @financassemcliche1273
    @financassemcliche12738 ай бұрын

    If you use this formula you can make it a little faster though: Original Price x (1 + Tax Rate) i.e.: $75 x 1.08 = $81 You can think of it as a shortcut so you can save some time if you're gonna repeat this process over and over again.

    Thanks for the video. Key: If your product or service cost for example $50, you just have to google what is the sales tax in your location for instance in New York, Queens is 8.88%. Which means that we just have to make the following: $50+8.88%= $54.44 None of this is financial advice.

For context I made an A+ throughout my whole year, I don't need any stupid summer school. "An hour a week should get all the work done" she said. For even more context my poor sister had her last year and she madeher do 5 hours of extra homework every week. LIKE WHAT She also gave her 4 freaking tests in Winter Break. And my parents just don't care enough to do anything about it. She ISN"T EVEN TEACHING US SHE IS USING AN APP my parents are getting robbed of their money. Thats what upsets me the most I have to learn Algebra on my own.

    Correct, I did not show how to multiply decimals. The point of this video was to go through the steps of how to calculate sales tax and the total cost. I did not cover how to multiply decimals by hand and go through all of those steps. That is something that can be done depending on if you are using a calculator or not. I will be doing a video next week where I calculate sales tax by hand and show every detail on how to solve these. That will be more helpful for you if that is what you are looking for.
