Math Question: Pluto bought a new dog bone at Disneyland in California for $7.50. The sales tax rate was 12%. He also bought a bone at Disneyworld in Florida for $7.50, but the sales tax rate there was 10%. What is the difference in the amount of tax that he paid between the two states?

Alright so to first answer this question you need to mind the amount of taxes paid in each individual exchange. Thus to calculate this multiply 7.50 * .12 = $.90 and then multiply 7.5 * .10 = .75. Then to find the difference you need to subtract the two so do .90-.75 = .15. So the answer would be 15 cents
