I see you've uploaded a math worksheet focused on calculating sales tax. Let's go through the questions and solutions:

### Question 1:
**The price of a video game is $68.00 plus 8% sales tax. What is the sales tax on this video game in dollars and cents?**

To calculate the sales tax:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 68 \times \frac{8}{100} = 68 \times 0.08 = 5.44
\]
So, the sales tax is **$5.44**.

### Question 2:
**Stephen is on a road trip and makes a stop in Happytown, CO, where the sales tax rate is 9.25%. How much total sales tax will he pay on a $25 tent and a $25 sleeping bag?**

The total cost of the items is:
\[
25 + 25 = 50
\]

Now calculate the sales tax:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 50 \times \frac{9.25}{100} = 50 \times 0.0925 = 4.625 \approx 4.63
\]
So, the sales tax is **$4.63**.

### Question 3:
**Cassie wants to buy a pair of headphones for $20 and a new phone case for $11. Sales tax is 6%. If her budget is $35, will she stay within her budget or go over?**

First, calculate the total cost of the items:
\[
20 + 11 = 31
\]

Now calculate the sales tax:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 31 \times \frac{6}{100} = 31 \times 0.06 = 1.86
\]

The total cost including tax is:
\[
31 + 1.86 = 32.86
\]

Since $32.86 is less than her $35 budget, **Cassie will stay within her budget**.

1. How would the tax calculation change if the rate was 7% instead of 8% for the video game?
2. What is the total amount Stephen pays (including the cost of the tent and sleeping bag) after adding the sales tax?
3. If Cassie's budget was only $32, would she still stay within budget? 
4. How would you calculate a 12% tax on a $50 purchase?
5. If Stephen bought a third item for $10, what would his new sales tax be?

### Tip:
Always multiply the total purchase amount by the tax rate (as a decimal) to calculate the sales tax effectively.
