Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

$48.55

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Make 17% into a decimal
  2. Multiply 0.17 and the number of Britain Value including tax
  3. Then take that number and subtract it by the number of Britain Value including tax

Equation:

17% = 0.17

Why? The symbol % is called the percent sign. The expression 17% means 17 parts out of 100. Therefore, 17% is equivalent to the common fraction and to the decimal fraction 0.17.

0.17 × (Britain Value Including Tax) 58.50 = 9.945 to be exact but I rounded it up to 9.95 for easier use

58.50 - 9.95 = 48.55

So $48.55 is your answer
