It's the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula, Total Cost = Purchase Price + Sales Tax,
Let x be the sales tax
$21.56 = $19.99 + x
At this point, it's very easy to do this. To find x, you subtract $19.99 from the total cost or $21.56.
$21.56 - $19.99 = $1.57 hence the sales tax is $1.57.
How can we check our answer?
If you aren't sure if you are correct, just add the purchase price with the sales tax.
$19.99 + $1.57 = x
$19.99 +$1.57 = $21.56
It is the same as the Total Cost so $1.57 is your correct answer.
It asks for the rate, not the sales tax. Continuing with this, to find the rate, you do Sales Tax/Purchase Price = Rate of Sales Tax/100%
1.57/19.99 = x/100%
Cross multiply: 19.99*x = 1.57*100
19.99*x = 157
Then, do
19.99*x/19.99 = 157/19.99 which is equal to 7.85392696%, round that to 7.85%
So the rate of the sales tax is 7.85%
