The question asks for sales tax rate. Sales tax is 39.90-38=1.90 and that's taxed onto the original $38 so 1.9/38=0.05
5% tax on the blazer

Answer:

5% sales-tax rate was she charged for this blazer

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Jan bought a blazer for $39.90.

The price of the blazer was $38.

Sales tax price = 39.90 - 38 = $1.90

We have to find the sales-tax rate was she charged for this blazer percentage wise.

Using formula:

$\text{Sales tax rate} = \frac{\text{Sale tax}}{\text{Price of the blazer}} \times 100$

Substitute the given value we have;

$\text{Sales tax rate} = \frac{1.90}{38} \times 100 = 5\%$

Therefore, 5% sales-tax rate was she charged for this blazer percentage wise
