The sales tax rate of an item that costs $4 is 8%
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
- An item costs $4 before tax
- The same item costs $4.32 after sales tax.
So the tax rate can be calculated as:
Tax rate = $4.32 - $4 = $0.32
Next, you must divide the tax rate by the original price in order to get the sales tax rate:
Sales tax rate = $0.32/4$ = 0.08
In percentage:
Sales tax rate % = 0.08x100% = 8%

Let's remember orders of operations as we go through the craze of this problem.
We need to multiply or divide from left to right.
3w-6w+3w×7×7×6×5÷9+2
3w-6w+21w×7×6×5÷9+2
3w-6w+147w×6×5÷9+2
3w-6w+882w×5÷9+2
3w-6w+4,410w÷9+2
3w-6w+490w+2
-3w+490w+2
487w+2
To check that we simplified the expression right, I like to put in 1 for w and test it in the original expression and then the simplified expression (not needed).
487+2=489
3-6+3×7×7×6×5÷9+2=489
So that expression equals 487w+2.
