Question

The sales tax on A $50 computer at J and M computers is $48.75 what is the sales tax rate

Answer 1

so i had this question on a test so i am assuming you meant to put 750 not 50

the correct answer is 6.5%
48.75 / 750 = 0.065 0.065*100% = 6.5%


to check your work:
750*6.5% = 750*6.5/1000 = 48750/1000 = $48.75

hope this helps you understand my answer
