The percentage of tax is 6%.
To find the percentage of tax, we can divide the tax amount by the cost of the chicken sandwich and then multiply by 100.
Tax amount = $0.27
Cost of the chicken sandwich = $4.50
Tax percentage = (Tax amount / Cost of the chicken sandwich) x 100
Tax percentage = ($0.27 / $4.50) x 100
Tax percentage = 0.06 x 100
Tax percentage = 6%
So, the percentage of tax is 6%.
To find the percentage of tax, you need to divide the tax amount by the cost of the chicken sandwich and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
In this case, the tax is $0.27 and the cost of the chicken sandwich is $4.50.
Dividing $0.27 by $4.50 gives you 0.06.
Now multiply 0.06 by 100 to convert it to a percentage, which gives you 6%.
So the correct answer is 6%.
