Answer: In deciamal :-
`108.25\%`

In fraction-
`108(1)/(4)\%`

Explanation:

Let x be the original price.

Given : The sales tax in Mansfield is 8.25% on anything purchased.

it can be written as 0.0825.

Then, the tax amount =
`0.0825* x=0.0825x`

Now, the total amount need to pay = Original amount + Tax amount

=
`0.0825x+x=(0.0825+1)x=(1.0825)x=1.0825x`

Now, the percent of the original price you will pay:-

`(1.0825x)/(x)*100\\\\=(1.0825)/(1)*100=108.25\%`

In fraction, it can be written as
`108(1)/(4)\%`
