Question

I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST

Jack and his friends go to a Pizza Place. The meal costs $24.85 without tax. Their total bill is $26.84. To the nearest whole percent, what is the sales tax percentage?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sales tax percentage is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by subtracting the amount without tax by the amount with it

26.84-24.85=1.99

The amount paid in taxes was 1.99

Compare the percentage that is of the total of the amount without taxes

1.99/24.85=0.08008...

Then convert to percents

So in conclusion the sales tax is 8%

Answer 2

The sales tax would be 8.01% or $1.99.

That would be somewhere in Georgia. :)
