In order to find the sales tax, we first need to see how much more 27.05 is than 24.99.  We do this by subtracting 27.05-24.99 = 2.16.

Now, we need to find what percent of 24.99 2.16 is.  We do this by dividing 2.16 by 24.99 then multiplying the result by 100.

(2.16/24.99)*100 = 9, so there was a 9% sales tax.

Just look outside and then you’ll see where the awnser is
