How to Calculate Sales Tax

[recaked]

Where I live, the sales tax is around 0%. It's pretty decent, but could be lower.

Americans should be lucky it's so low. In Nova Scotia it's 13%

A far easier way, if you know the tax, would be to do something like this:

Product: 20

Tax: 6%

do 20 x 1.06

It eliminates a step and gives you the same answer.

This also work for percentage off. Instead of adding the tax, you subtract the discount.
