Suppose you bought something
that was priced at $6.95, and the
total bill was $7.61.
What is the sales tax rate in this
city?


Sagot :

Subtract to find the amount of tax paid then divide the amount of tax paid by the price of the item bought.


7.61 - 6.95 = 0.66 (amount of tax paid)


0.66/6.95 = 0.0949 x 100 = 9.49 %

Answer: 9.49 % (round off as needed)
