Hi there! The answer is 7%

The price of the book is $ 22.
Santino bought it for $ 23.54.
Therefore, the amount of tax is $ 1.54

Now we can find the sales tax rate by using the following formula:

tax \: rate = (tax)/(price \: excluding \: tax) * 100\%

Filling in gives:

tax \: rate \: = (1.54)/(22) * 100\% = 7\%
