What is a sales tax?

A sales tax is a use or consumption tax, indirectly levied by the government on buyers of certain taxable items.

The seller collects the sales tax on behalf of the government.

Total amount to spend on supplies = $1,000

Items         Cost Unit         Units       Total      Units       Total for more

Oxen:        $40 each           2            $80         8               $320

Food:        $0.20 per lb     500         100       2,000           400

Clothing:  $10 per set         5              50        20               200

Total cost before tax                      $230                        $920

7% sales tax                                     $16.10                         64.40

Total cost after tax                       $246.10                     $984.40

Change = $15.60

Thus, with $1,000, you can purchase 4 times the above quantities and still have some change after paying the required sales tax.
