You buy a wristwatch that sells for $26. You are in a state that charges 5.6% sales tax. How much do you pay at the register.

5.6%*26=1.456

26-1.456=24.544

Round up to the nearest penny.  $26+$1.46=$27.46, so you pay $27.46 for the watch.

 

                                             Add sales tax, not subtract.
