Question

Elliott buys a TV. The receipt says that the total of the TV is $252.99, including sales tax. The original price (without tax) of the TV was $234.25. What was the percentage for the sales tax?

Answer 1

8%

Explanation:

234.25$ : 100 = 252.99$ : x

234.25x = 252.99 x 100

234.25x = 25299

25299 divided by 234.25 is 108

so answer 8%
