Answer: 8.2% rounded to the nearest tenth

Explanation:

The original price was 85.78 excluding the sales tax, the total price including the sales tax was 92.82. Subtract 92.82 minus 85.78 and you get 7.04 which was the amount added due to sales tax. Now you will need to find the percentage. What percent is 7.04 of 85.78. You can use the formula p=x times 100 divided by y. x is 7.04 times 100 is 704 then divided by y which is 85.78 you get 8.2 which is your percent.
