Answer:
The sales tax rate is 6% .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given Juan purchase before sales tax was added totaled 46.00 .
The total including taxe was $48.76.
Tax price = Total cost including tax - cost before sales tax
= $48.76 - $46.00
= $ 2.76
Formula
[tex]Tax\ rate = \frac{Tax\ price\times 100}{Cost\ before\ sales\ tax}[/tex]
As given
Here Tax price = $ 2.76
Cost before sales tax = $46.00
Put in the formula
[tex]Tax\ rate = \frac{2.76\times 100}{46}[/tex]
[tex]Tax\ rate = \frac{276}{46}[/tex]
Tax rate = 6 %
Therefore the sales tax rate is 6% .
