Step-by-step explanation:

so if 33.00$ were 100% then you have to fund how many % is 35.31$

to do that you can just multiply 35.31$ to 100 and then divide it too 33.00$

[tex](35.31 \times 100) \div 33 [/tex]

that is 107 % and so

35.31 = 107%

33.00=100%

substract 107 from 100 and you get the tax rate

107-100=7 % tax

hope you understood :)

Answer:

7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax price = 35.31 - 33

=>Tax price = 2.31

Tax rate = Tax Price/Original Price x 100

              = 2.31/33 x 100

              = 0.07 x 100

              = 7%
