If my bike was $139, and if I payed $147.34, what is the sales tax rate?

[Taylor A]

It is not really my bike, that is just what the question is. I really need help A.S.A.P. It is due tomorrow morning.

You paid $8.34 sales tax. $147.34 - $139 = $8.34. $139 x 6% = $8.34. so the sales tax rate is 6%. CHEAP it's 8.25% here

 

[John F]

147.34 / 139 = 1.06

1.06 - 1 = 0.06 = 6%


Other method :

147.34 - 139 = 8.34

8.34 / 139 = 0.06 = 6 / 100 = 6 %

 

[Garrett O]

$147.34/$139 = 1.06

So the sales tax was 6%

$147.34/$139 = 1.06

So the sales tax was 6%
