Thank you.

Answer 1

Explanation:

always think what are 100% and 1%, and then find the desired % by comparing with either the 100% or 1%.

in our case here

100% = $3000.

1% = 100%/100 = 3000/100 = $30.

$213 are how many % of $3000 (100%) ?

as many % as times that 1% fits into 213 (that is what division is for) :

213 / 1% = 213 / 30 = 7.1%

sales tax rate = 7.1%

Answer 2

7.1%

Explanation:

`(213)/(3000)(100)=7.1\%`
