A county has a sales tax of 6 2/3 % .

[tex]6\frac{2}{3}%[/tex]

Mixed fraction can be written as improper fraction

[tex]6\frac{2}{3}=\frac{6*3+2}{3}=\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

[tex]6\frac{2}{3}%=\frac{20}{3}%[/tex]

To remove % we divide by 100

[tex]\frac{20}{3}%=\frac{20}{300}[/tex]

Now we simplify the fraction. To simplify the fraction we divide both top and bottom by 20

[tex]\frac{\frac{20}{20}}{\frac{300}{20}}= \frac{1}{15}[/tex]
