They should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.
Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place to place, from one or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for example, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult. We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable: one is death and the other taxes.
Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, barkers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that customers will make up the difference. If you don’t, the service person can’t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. [br]
