⓵ Transform 6% into a number by dividing 6 by 100 :
6% = 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
⓶ To find out how much is the tax on the elephant, you need to multiply 6% (so 0.06) by the price of the elephant, which is 34.90$ :
6% of 34.90 = 0.06 × 34.90 = 2.094
⓷
If you round up, the final answer would be that the sale taxe on the elephant is ⋍ 2.10$
