Question

A large pepperoni pizza from Papa Johns costs $14.75. After tax, the pizza is $15.93. What is the sales tax rate?

Answer 1

8%

Explanation:

divide the after tax price by the before tax price

15.93/14.75=1.08

then subtract 1 from 1.08 (the 1 is the base price of the pizza) and convert the difference to percent to get the answer of 8% tax rate
