a computer in Texas cost $420 and the tax is $60 what is the tax rate ? can anyone explain how I get the answer

Respuesta :

If I'm interpreting this question correctly, then you want to know the tax per dollar. In order to find that, you need to find the percentage of $420 that equals $60. So, 

420x = 60
x = 60/420 
x = 0.1429 (rounded) 

So, the tax rate would be this value multiplied by 100%.

0.1429 x 100% = 14.29%
