Answer:
$5.61
8.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of meal = $22
Sales tax = $1.87
How much would the sales tax be on $66 meal
= $66/$22 × $1.87
= 3 × $1.87
= $5.61
What is the tax rate for meals in the city
Tax rate = sales tax / cost of meal × 100
= $1.87/$22 × 100
= 0.085 × 100
= 8.5%
Tax rate = 8.5%
