a chicken sandwich costs 4.50 dollars there is an additional tax of 0.27 dollars what is the percentage of tax

Answer 1

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

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

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

Plugging in the values:

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

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Tax Percentage} = \left( 0.06 \right) \times 100 = 6% \]

So, the percentage of tax on the chicken sandwich is 6%.
