Let the answer be x percent:
So we say: the tax is x% of the price,
this means: $3.56 is x% of $89
"something %" means 1/100 times something,
thus, we write and solve the following equation:
![\displaystyle{ 3.56= \frac{x}{100}\cdot 89](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%7B%203.56%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B100%7D%5Ccdot%2089%20)
![3.56\cdot100=x\cdot89](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3.56%5Ccdot100%3Dx%5Ccdot89)
![356=89x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=356%3D89x)
![\displaystyle{ x= \frac{356}{89}= 4](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%7B%20x%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B356%7D%7B89%7D%3D%204)
