A chicken sandwich costs $4.50. There is an additional tax of $0.27. What is the percentage of tax

Answer 1

The total cost of the chicken sandwich and additional tax is $4.50 + $0.27 = $<<4.50+0.27=4.77>>4.77.
To find the percentage of the tax, we divide the tax amount by the total cost and multiply by 100.
Percentage of tax = ($0.27 / $4.77) * 100 = 0.0566 * 100 = 5.66%.
Therefore, the percentage of tax is 5.66%.
