❖ The sales tax rate is 5%.

In order to get 5%, you divide 1/29 ÷ 25.79. Basically, dividing the x by the y.

5% = sales tax rate

Step-by-step explanation:

tax = original price * sales tax rate

We know the tax and the original price

1.29 = 25.79 * sales tax rate

Divide each side by 25.79

1.29/25.79 = 25.79/25.79 * sales tax rate

.0500 = sales tax rate

Change this to percent form by multiplying by 100

5% = sales tax rate

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
