It is considered a good idea for parents to take their children shopping, and let the children do the arithmetic. Sometimes this is difficult, so this blog attempts to take the place of real shopping trips. All examples are real:
Minneapolis sales tax:
On September 13, 2007 I bought a magazine for $4.99 in Minneapolis, MN. Sales tax in Minneapolis is 7.15%, the extra 0.15% is supposed to go to the new Twins stadium.
Tax is rounded to the nearest 1 cent.
What was the tax? What was the price, including tax?
How much, if any, went to the Twins stadium?
