A sales tax of 7% 2016-12-07
From Kenneth:
Hello:

If a sales tax of 7% is placed on every $1.00 of merchandise for sale, is it correct to indicate the tax as 7%/ per $1.00 or 7%/$1.00? If the calculation is expressed as 7%/$1.00 X $5.00, the tax is not $0.35 but 0.35. Is a tax rate of 7% incorrectly represented as 7%/$1.00 since the dollar unit cancels from the multiplication?

I thank you for your reply.

pst and gst 2003-06-24
From Robin:
I need to find an easy solution to remembering how to calculated the gst and pst once I have the total amount. ex: my total is $154.40, I have to find the gst and then the pst. I live in bc so the taxes are 7% for gst and 7.5% for pst.
