The approximate percentage of sales tax is 1%
A gymnastics mat priced at $53.
A cost of mat after adding sales tax = $53.53
So, the tax amount would be,
53.53 - 53 = 0.53
We need to find the sales tax percentage.
Let x be the percentage of sales tax.
x = (0.53)/(53.53) * 100
x = 0.0099 * 100
x = 0.99%
x ≈ 1%
Therefore, the approximate percentage of sales tax is 1%
