(450x.0825)+450

And the percentage symbol isn't a dollar sign, it goes after the numbers.

calculator:

get 10% then half it then half it again so you have 2.5%

then add 5% + 2.5% then add 4.50 which is the 1% to get 8.25%

add all the numbers together, wala answer

450*1.0825.

But... if you're in Cali, didn't the tax raise to like 9.25%, or was that only in certain areas?
