Question

Mrs. Gonzalez bought a puzzle for $10.95, a board game for $15.95, and a table lamp for $17.10. After tax, the total amount due was $46.86. What is the sales tax rate written as a percent? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

15.95+10.95+17.10 = 44

46.86-44 = 2.86

2.86/44 = 0.065

0.065 = 6.5%
