    Sales tax looks like 2.9%? Looks like you're looking at $44.06

    16 and you can't calculate tax...? Are you from the USA? This can make our school system look very bad.

    humbug! sales tax in colorado is only 2.9 percent compared to NY's 8.6 percent. Take your subtotal, 1519.02 in this instance, and multiply it by .029. Then add that number to the subtotal and VWALA!

    This thread shouldn't be in the Dell forum, it should be in the Math for Dummies forum!
