Answer:

His answer will have a very large value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take an example:

Let the item price be = $50

John is calculating 6% tax on an item. This becomes:

[tex]0.06\times50=3[/tex] dollars

But he accidentally divides by 0.06. This becomes: [tex]\frac{50}{0.06}= 833.33[/tex] dollars

We can see that the answer is completely wrong and the value is very large.
