Question

The sales tax is 41 on the purchase of a dining room set for 1025. find the sales tax rate

Answer 1

To solve for the tax rate, we can use the formula Rate = (Percentage over Base) x 100.

In the given problem, the percentage is 41 and the base is 1025. Therefore, the rate is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Rate}=\frac{percentage}{\text{base}}*100 \\ \text{Rate}=(41)/(1025)*100 \\ \text{Rate}=0.04*100 \\ \text{Rate}=4\text{percent} \end{gathered}`

The sales tax rate is 4%.
