Answer:  The required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Percy paid 24.10 for a basketball and the price of a basketball was 22.99.

We are to find the sales tax rate.

According to the given information, the sales tax is given by

S.T.=24.10-22.99=1.11.

Therefore, the sales tax rate is given by

\dfrac{1.11}{22.99}\times100\%=\dfrac{111}{22.99}\%=4.83\%.

Thus, the required sales tax rate is 4.83%.

So, he paid 24.10 with the tax included, without the tax is 22.99, thus 24.10 - 22.99 or 1.11 is the tax amount.

now, if we take 22.99 to be the 100%, how much is 1.11 off of it in percentage?

 \bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
22.99&100\\
1.11&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{22.99}{1.11}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{1.11\cdot 100}{22.99}

Answer:

61,01%

Step-by-step explanation:

We must consider that her total energy intake is the addition of the energy given by the carbohydrates, fats and proteins she takes.

1g of carbohydrates contains 4kcal

1g of proteins contains 4kcal

1g of fat contains 9 kcal.

That is: 243 g of carbohidrates is equal to 972 kcal; 41g of fat is equal to 369 kcal and 63 g of proteins is equal to 252 kcal.

If we sum up all the calories she intakes in one day, the result is= 972kcal+369kcal+252kcal=1593kcal.

Now, we make a rule of 3: If 1593kcal is the 100% of the intake, then 972kcal = 972kcal*100%/1593kcal = 61,01%
