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}
