Question

Can somebody please help me??

Answer 1

8.2% (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Explanation:

$92.82-$85.78= $7.04

100%= $85.78

1%= $85.78÷100

= $0.8578

$7.04÷$0.8578= 8.2% (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Answer 2

8.2%

Explanation:

To find the sales tax percentage, we need to determine how much of the total price was due to sales tax. To do this, we can subtract the price of the cupboard from the total price:

$92.82 - $85.78 = $7.04

So the sales tax was $7.04. We can then divide the sales tax by the price of the cupboard and multiply by 100% to find the sales tax rate as a percentage:

$7.04 / $85.78 * 100% = 8.2%

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the sales tax rate was 8.2%.
