The sales tax rate is 8%. Estimate the tax on a jacket that costs $69.95.

Add 8% and 69.95 and then add 69.95 again to that answer and ta da!

8% is the same as (.08)x69.95=.556 or .56 ( because of rounding )
so .56 plus 69.95= $70.51 ;

To estimate the tax on a $69.95 jacket with an 8% sales tax, first convert the tax rate to decimal (0.08) and multiply by the price, resulting in approximately $5.60 for sales tax. The total cost, including tax, would be about $75.55.
