8-7 Percents
Most states charge sales tax on items you purchase. Sales tax is a percent of the item’s price. A percent is a ratio of a number to 100.
You can remember that percent means “per hundred.” For example, 8% means “8 per hundred,” or “8 out of 100.”
Course 1

If a sales tax rate is 8%, the following statements are true:
• For every $1.00 you spend, you pay $0.08 in sales tax.
• For every $10.00 you spend, you pay $0.80 in sales tax.
• For every $100 you spend, you pay $8 in sales tax.
Because percent means “per hundred,” 100% means “100 out of 100.” This is why 100% is often used to mean “all” or “the whole thing.”
