The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of sales tax = $49

Price of dining room set = $980

Sales tax rate = $\frac{Amount\ of\ sales\ tax}{Price\ of\ dining\ room\ set}*100$

Sales taxa rate = $\frac{49}{980}*100$

$Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{4900}{980}\\Sales\ tax\ rate=5\%$

The sales tax rate is 5%.
