find the tax rate

Question

While on vacation in Milwaukee, the Ahmeds were quoted a room price of $85 per night plus tax. They stayed one night and watched a movie that cost $9.25. Their total bill came to $106.66. What was the tax rate?

Answer 1

$85+$9.25=$94.25

$106.66-$94.25=$12.41

 

$12.41/$85= 0.146

 

0.146x100= 14.6%
