Answer 2

• Total bill = $10.00
• Sales tax = $0.85
• Sales tax rate = 8.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the receipt in question, the buyer paid a total bill of $10.00.

Buyer also paid a sales tax of $0.85.

The total cost of the food was $10.00 and a sales tax of $0.85 was paid.

The sales tax is based on the amount paid so the sales tax rate is the percentage of $10 that $0.85 is.

= Sales Tax / Total bill * 100%

= 0.85 / 10 * 100%

= 0.085 * 100%

= 8.5%
