Answer: 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we'll start by listing the facts.

Facts

Pack of pencils is $5

Total cost: 5.35

This means the sales tax is 35 cents, but we need to find the percentage to get the sales tax rate.

We can do this by dividing .35 by 5

0.35÷5= 0.07

Convert 0.07 to a percentage by multiplying it by 100

0.07x100= 7

Hence the sales tax rate is 7%. We can check to make sure this is correct by finding 7% of 5, and then adding the result to the 5.

7% of 5= 0.35

5+0.35= 5.35

Hope this helps, and brainliest would be appreciated :))
