Let x equal the sales tax in decimal form.
(x)($50) = $0.82
x = 0.82/50 = 0.0164 which is 1.64%
Thrice, or three times this would be:
(1.64)(3) = 4.92% ---> Answer Choice C
(x)($50) = $0.82
x = 0.82/50 = 0.0164 which is 1.64%
Thrice, or three times this would be:
(1.64)(3) = 4.92% ---> Answer Choice C
