"A 12-pack of cinnamon scented pencils sells for $3.00 at a school booster club sale. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost of the pencils is $3.21?" what is the answer and how do you show the work?
I have no idea but my mom said it was 7%
I think it is 7 % though
I don't get it either and this is my math problem!!
Since everybody is saying its 7% i guess thats the answer to the question
Lol just googled this cause it made NO SENSE!!
The answer is 7%?
3.21 - 3 = 0.21
(0.21 / 3) * 100 = ?
I don't get it
@schoolisslaverybutworse SAME WITH ME AHAHHAHA
use a proportion
x 21 2100
-- = -- ---
100 300 300
X (aka sales tax) = 7%
