Finding Sales Tax - No Prep Worksheet by Teacher Deb Egizi worksheets library - Free Printable

Let's solve each problem step by step. We are given the original price of an item and a sales tax rate, and we need to:

1. Calculate the sales tax amount (by multiplying the original price by the tax rate).
2. Find the total price (by adding the sales tax to the original price).

We'll use the formula:
> Sales Tax Amount = Original Price × Sales Tax Rate (as a decimal)
> Total Price = Original Price + Sales Tax Amount
