After sales tax, a $10 boomerang costs $10.95. What is the sales tax percentage?
Write your answer as a decimal using a percent sign (%). For example, 0.5% or 12.7%.
The sales tax amount is $10.95 - $10 = $0.95.
To find the sales tax percentage, we divide the sales tax amount by the original price of the boomerang and multiply by 100:
Sales tax percentage = ($0.95 / $10) * 100 ≈ 9.5%
Therefore, the sales tax percentage is 9.5%.
