Asking the Math Gods ...

$97.95*.095+$97.95=$107.25

$9.30 in Tax

Emilio Ritter · Answer 2

Since we are estimating the tax, we will round both the price and the tax to make it easy to perform the math mentally ...

Round $97.95 to $100

Round 9.5% to 10%

10% of 100 =

.10 x 100 = 10

10 dollars is the best estimate for the tax.
