This is a math problem I have to do, I swear I've been sitting here for hours trying and searching for every way to solve this, but I keep hitting dead ends, I have NO idea what I'm doing! There's no other details to the problem, this is all it says. I'd like for someone to please EXPLAIN how to do this problem so I can actually understand and know how to do this from now on! Thanks!
Suppose you bought something that was priced at $12.50, and the total bill was $13.70. What is the sales tax rate in this city? (Round answer to one decimal place.)Hint: You have several steps to perform...find the tax amount first, then the tax rate.
