Question

Original price: $23.37
with tax : $24.91
what is the sales tax percentage​

Answer 1

6.6% = tax rate

Explanation:

The first step is to find out how much was paid in tax

24.91 - 23.37 =1.54

The tax is 1.54

The tax is the original price * tax rate

1.54 = 23.37 * tax rate

Divide each side by 23.37

1.54/23.37 = tax rate

.065896448= tax rate

Changing to percent form

6.6% = tax rate
