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}

We can use the compound interest formula

F=P(1+i)^n

where

F=Future value of investment to be found

P=present value of investment ($1000)

i=interest per period (1/4 year)=0.04/4=0.01

n=number of periods (3 years * 4 quarters = 12)


Substitute or "Plug in" values, so to speak,

F=1000*(1+0.01)^12

use a calculator to do the sum

=1126.83 (to the nearest cent, and use the proper rounding rules)
