Question

A surfboard has a price of $920. With sales tax, it will cost $1,012. What is the sales tax percentage?

Answer 1

Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sale tax                                                    = $x

Cost price  (CP) of the surfboard                       = $920

Sale tax with cost price of the surfboard          = $1,012

Therefore the sale tax   ($x)                                     = $1,012 - $920

                                                                             =$92

Therefore the sale  tax percentage                   = ⁹²/₉₂₀  x 100

                                                                             = 10%
