Let the answer be x percent:

So we say: the tax is x% of the price, 

this means: $3.56 is x% of $89


"something %" means 1/100 times something,

thus, we write and solve the following equation:


\displaystyle{ 3.56= \frac{x}{100}\cdot 89

3.56\cdot100=x\cdot89

356=89x

\displaystyle{ x= \frac{356}{89}= 4



Answer: the tax is 4%
