Question

Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball. The price of the basketball was 22.99. What was the sales tax rate?

Answer 1

The sales tax rate is 4.82%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sales tax rate, we need to determine the amount of sales tax paid and divide it by the price of the basketball.

The amount of sales tax paid is the difference between the total amount paid and the price of the basketball:

$24.10 - $22.99 = $1.11

Now, we can calculate the sales tax rate by dividing the sales tax by the price of the basketball and multiplying by 100:

($1.11 / $22.99) * 100 = 4.82%

Answer 2

first of all you substract the two numbers 24.10-22.99=1,11
know you do ratios 1,11 on 24,10 equals x on a hundred you aligne the fraction so 1,11 is x percent and 24,10 equals to 100 percent know multipilie 1,11 by 100 and divide it by 24,10 and that youre answer.
