Calculating tax involves determining the percentage amount to be added to the base price of a product or service.

Description

Calculating tax is a fundamental application of percentages in real-world scenarios. When purchasing goods or services, the total cost is often the sum of the base price and the tax applied. Understanding how to calculate tax is essential for budgeting and financial literacy.

For example, if a product costs $50 and the tax rate is 8%, the tax amount is calculated as 

50 × 0.08 = 4

Therefore, the total cost is

Dimensional analysis is a method used to convert one unit of measurement to another using conversion factors.

Description

Dimensional analysis is a powerful tool in mathematics and science for converting units and solving problems involving measurements. It uses the principle of multiplying by conversion factors to ensure that units cancel out appropriately, leading to the desired unit.

For example, to convert 50 meters per second to kilometers per hour, you use the conversion factors  1 meter = 0.001 kilometers and 1 hour = 3600 seconds:
