sales tax on the sale of a house. also, the county in which he lives charges a 2.9% sales tax, and
the city charges a 1.9% sales tax. if mr. medina sells his home for $103,500, what will be his
total tax bill?

Total tax bill is $9,004.50

Given:
Sales price         = 103,500
State sales tax   =        3.9%
County sales tax =        2.9%
City sales tax      =        1.9%

State sales tax    = 103,500 x 3.9% = 4,036.50
County sales tax = 103,500 x 2.9% = 3,001.50
City sales tax      = 103,500 x 1.9%  =1,966.50
Total tax                                             9,004.50
