Percy paid $24.10 for a basketball the price of the basketball was $22.99 what was the sales tax rate

To find the sales tax rate, you need to find what percentage of the base price the difference in cost is.

First, subtract 22.99 from 24.10:

24.1-22.99=1.11

Now, divide 1.11 by 22.99:

1.11/22.99=0.0483

Multiply 0.0483 by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage:

0.0483*100=4.83

The sales tax rate was 4.83%.

Hope this helps!!
