Question

A pack of cinnamon scented pencils cost $9.00. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost for the pencils with tax is $9.54? _______________% NEED URGENT HELP!!!

Answer 1

well, the pencils are 9 bucks, but they're selling for 9.63, meaning the tax is 0.63 or 63 cents.

now, if we take 9 to be the 100%, what is 0.63 off of it in percentage?
