Answer 2

Answer: The city sale tax rate is 0.016

Explanation:

Hi, to calculate the city tax rate we simply have to multiply the state sales tax rate (0.08) by 0.2 (because city sales tax rate is 0.2 times the state sales tax rate.)

Mathematically speaking:

0.08 x 0.2 = 0.016

So, the city sale tax rate is 0.016
