1. han is charged $11.70 sales tax on an item that costs $195.00. which of the following represents the tax rate in hans state?\na. 0.06%\nb. 6%\nc. 16.7%\nd. 167%

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the tax rate as a decimal

The formula for tax rate (r) is (r=\frac{\text{Tax amount}}{\text{Cost of item}}). Substitute the given values: (r = \frac{11.70}{195}) [ \begin{align*} \frac{11.70}{195}&=\frac{1170}{19500}\ &=\frac{1170\div 195}{19500\div 195}\ & = 0.06 \end{align*} ]

Step2: Convert the decimal to a percentage

To convert a decimal (d) to a percentage, use the formula (P = d\times100%) Substitute (d = 0.06): (P=0.06\times100%=6%)

Answer:

B. (6%)
