A lunch box costs $4.50 plus sales tax. After sales tax, the lunch box is $4.86. What is the sales tax rate?

A). 6%

B). 7.5%

C). 8%

D). 9.5%

8 percent (C)

To find 1% you divide 4.50 by 100, which is 0.045.

Then you have to find what is added on.
4.86-4.50 is .36

Now you divide .36 by 0.045. An easier way to do this is 360 divided by 45. This equals 8.

Hope this helped
