Question

tax?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of tax, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Tax Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Tax Amount}}{\text{Cost of the Sandwich}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the tax amount is $0.27 and the cost of the sandwich is $4.50.

Now, substituting these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Tax Percentage} = \left( \frac{0.27}{4.50} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating the fraction:

\[ \frac{0.27}{4.50} = 0.06 \]

Now, multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage:

\[ 0.06 \times 100 = 6 \]

Therefore, the percentage of tax is 6%.
