What is the tax rate for the community in which this purchase was made?

Answer 1

I can’t read the image you attached. Please either upload a clearer picture or tell me the pre‑tax subtotal and the tax amount shown on the receipt (or the subtotal and the total). I’ll compute the tax rate for you.

Formula: tax rate = (tax ÷ pre‑tax subtotal) × 100%

Example: if subtotal = $48.00 and tax = $3.72, tax rate = (3.72 ÷ 48.00) × 100% = 7.75%.
