(1) In the State of Michigan there is a 6% sales tax, so if you purchase a new pair of shoes for $75 how would you set up the ratio to calculate your
tax? *

1:0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is a 6% sales tax, which is the same as 0.06. to calculate your tax, you would multiply both of the sides of the ratio by 75, and the left side will show you subtotal of what you are buying, the right will show tax.

There is no mixed number. 50/5 is 10 because if you divide 50 and 5 by least common factors which is 5 you get 10. This is the simplest form.
