Answer 2

Answer: In deciamal :-$108.25\%$

In fraction-$108\dfrac{1}{4}\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

Given : The sales tax in Mansfield is 8.25% on anything  purchased.

it can be written as 0.0825.

Then, the tax amount = $0.0825\times x=0.0825x$

Now, the total amount need to pay = Original amount + Tax amount

=$0.0825x+x=(0.0825+1)x=(1.0825)x=1.0825x$

Now, the percent of the original price  you will pay:-

$\dfrac{1.0825x}{x}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{1.0825}{1}\times100=108.25\%$

In fraction, it can be written as $108\dfrac{1}{4}\%$
