Question

Anita paid a total of $57.50 for a blazer. The price of the blazer was $52.85. What was the sales tax rate?

Answer 1

8.79 % tax rate

Explanation:

total paid = tax + price

57.50 = tax +52.85

tax = 4.65

tax rate =( tax ÷ price before the tax) × 100%

= (4.65÷ 52.85) × 100%

= 8.79%

Answer 2

8.08% would be the sales tax rate of the blazers that Anita paid for.
Answer:8.08%
