Most states charge sales tax on items you purchase. Sales tax is a percent of the items price. A percent is a ratio of a number to 100. You can remember that percent means per hundred. For example, 8% means 8 per hundred, or 8 out of 100.

If a sales tax rate is 8%, the following statements are true:

For every $1.00 you spend, you pay $0.08 in sales tax.
For every $10.00 you spend, you pay $0.80 in sales tax. For every $100 you spend, you pay $8 in sales tax.

Because percent means per hundred, 100% means 100 out of 100. This is why 100% is often used to mean all or the whole thing.
