Question

the sales tax on a $350 computer is $21.00 whats the sales tax rate

Answer 1

So,

To find the sales tax rate, we just need to divide the tax amount by the sale price.

$\frac{21}{350}$

Simplify the fraction.
$\frac{3*7}{2*5*5*7}$

$\frac{3}{2*5*5} = \frac{3}{50} = \frac{6}{100}$

The sales tax was 6%.
