How to calculate the total tax amount on an alcohol product?

The total tax amount can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Tax Amount (T) is given by:

§§ T = V \times \left( \frac{A}{100} \right) \times R §§

where:

  • § T § — total tax amount
  • § V § — volume of the alcohol product (in liters)
  • § A § — alcohol percentage (as a percentage)
  • § R § — tax rate (in currency per liter or as a percentage)

This formula allows you to determine how much tax you will need to pay based on the volume of the alcohol product and its alcohol content.

Example:

  • Volume of Alcohol Product (§ V §): 10 liters
  • Alcohol Percentage (§ A §): 5%
  • Tax Rate (§ R §): $2 per liter

Total Tax Amount:

§§ T = 10 \times \left( \frac{5}{100} \right) \times 2 = 1 \text{ dollar} §§
