Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In non-mathematical form, the question is asking $8.80 is what percent of $440. N will equal the percent. So, you would set up the equation like this: 20 = N · 440

You need to solve the equation.

20/440 = N · 440/440

0.045 repeating = N

Rounded, the sales tax rate would be 4.5%
