The reason being is that we need to find it out of 100. So, we divide 400 by 4 and because we did that to the denominator we have to do it to the numerator so 16 divided by 4 is well 4. So we found out that is 4/100 we just divide that by 650 and we get 26.


TL;DR it’s $26

Tax is the price charged on an object. This shows that the tax on a $650 TV is $26

If the sales tax on a $400 stereo is $16, this can be written as:

$400 = $16

To get the sales tax on $650 TV, we can write;

$650 = x

x is the required tax;

Divide both expressions to have:

[tex]\frac{400}{650} =\frac{16}{x} \\400x = 16 \times 650\\400x = 10400\\x = \frac{10400}{400}\\x= \$26[/tex]

This shows that the tax on a $650 TV is $26
