How much does Robert have left after deducting tax?

Tax can be defined as the compulsory levy paid by citizens of a particular country on their income, goods and be services.

  • Amount Robert started with = $40
  • Amount Robert spent before tax = $30.45
  • Tax rate = 7.25%

Amount of tax = Tax rate × Amount Robert spent before tax

= 7.25% × $30.45

= 7.25/100 × 30.45

= 0.0725 × 30.45

= $2.207625

Total amount Robert spent = Amount Robert spent before tax + Amount of tax

= $30.45 + $2.207625

= $32.657625

Amount Robert has left = Amount Robert started with - Total amount Robert spent

= $40 - $32.657625

= $7.342375

$7.34

Therefore, the amount Robert has left after deducting tax is $7.34
