Answer

Answer:

B. 7.5%

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tax - rate formula

Tax rate = $\frac{\text{Tax amount}}{\text{Pre - tax amount}}\times100%$

Step2: Identify pre - tax and tax amounts

Pre - tax amount = 79.97, Tax amount = 6.20

Step3: Calculate tax rate

Tax rate=$\frac{6.20}{79.97}\times 100%\approx7.75%$ (There may be a rounding difference in the options. If we calculate more precisely: $\frac{6.20}{79.97}\times100%=\frac{620}{79.97}\approx 7.75%$. But if we consider the closest option among the given ones, we note that $\frac{6.20}{79.97}\approx\frac{6.20}{80}= 7.75%$ and the closest option is 7.5% which may be due to rounding in the receipt values. A more accurate calculation gives: $\text{Tax rate}=\frac{6.20}{79.97}\times100%\approx 7.75%$, but among the options, the closest is 7.5%)

(The more accurate mathematical calculation gives a value close to 7.75%, but since we need to choose from the given options, we assume some rounding in the receipt values and choose 7.5% as the answer)
