Question

11. The sales tax rate is 6.9%

Answer 1

Answer:

40.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that 192 is in 100%.

100% = 192

I then represent the value that we are looking for with $x$.

x% = 77

By dividing both equations (100% = 192 and x% = 77) and remembering that both left hand sides of BOTH equations have the percentage unit (%).

$\frac{100}{x} = \frac{77}{192}$

Now, of course, we take the reciprocal, or inverse, of both sides:

$\frac{x}{100} = \frac{7}{192}$

x = 40.1%

Thus making the answer: 40.1% of 192 is 77.
