How do you fig out the sale tax on 1500 with 5.5 sale tax?

If your talking about figuring the 5.5% tax on $1,500 sales...then this is how you do it. First you need to make the 5.5% into decimal format, which is .055. Then you multiply it with $1500. That'll make the total tax for your item to equal: $82.50. Then for your complete total, it would be $1,582.50 with tax and all.
