An item has listed price of $70. If the sales tax rate is 9%, how much is the sales tax (in dollars)

The final sales tax price is $6.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the item has a listed price of $70, and it also has a 9% sales tax rate. In order to calculate this amount we need to do some multiplying.

$70 is the full amount of money, or 100%, plus 9% is 109%. To calculate the sales tax, we need to multiply the listed price by the sales tax rate.

70 x 1.09 = 76.3

Now, we must subtract the listed price (or $70), by the sales tax price (or $76.30)

76.3 - 70 = $6.30

Therefore, the final price of the sales tax is $6.30.

Hope this helps! :)
