Answer:

10% sales tax

Explanation:

Given the following question:

Percent increase from 45.75 to 50.33

To find the answer we use the formula to calculate percent change.


(n-o)/(o) *100

(50.33-45.75)/(45.75) *100=50.33-45.75=4.58/45.75=0.10010929*100=10.010929

10.010929

0<5
10%

The tax of the phone was "10% sales tax."

Hope this helps.
