If a TV costs $600 and the tax rate is 7.75%, what was the amount of tax on the TV?

$51.75
$46.50
$48.25
$49.50

The correct answer is: $46.50

To determine the amount of tax on the TV priced at $600 with a tax rate of 7.75%, you need to calculate the tax by multiplying the price of the TV by the tax rate expressed as a decimal. First, convert the tax rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 7.75% = 7.75 / 100 = 0.0775. Next, multiply the price of the TV by the decimal tax rate: Tax amount = Price × Tax rate Tax amount = $600 × 0.0775. When you perform the multiplication, you get: Tax amount = $600 × 0.0775 = $46.50. Therefore, the correct option reflects the accurate calculation of the tax amount at the given price and tax rate.
