To solve for the tax rate, we can use the formula Rate = (Percentage over Base) x 100.
In the given problem, the percentage is 41 and the base is 1025. Therefore, the rate is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Rate}=\frac{percentage}{\text{base}}\times100 \\ \text{Rate}=\frac{41}{1025}\times100 \\ \text{Rate}=0.04\times100 \\ \text{Rate}=4\text{percent} \end{gathered}[/tex]The sales tax rate is 4%.
