Question

Daisy wants to buy a wooden guitar. The price of the guitar is 99 dollars. Adding the sales tax, the new price will be equivalent to the successor of the original price. How much is the sales tax?

• A. 999 dollars
• B. 1 dollar
• C. 101 dollars
• D. 102 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 dollar

The price of the guitar is given as 99 dollars.

The new price after including sales tax = 100 dollars

Difference between the prices = 100 – 99 = 1

The difference between the prices gives us the sales tax.

Hence, sales tax = 1 dollar
