Answer:

7% sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Sales tax = $26.60
It costs $380 before tax

In order to find the answer, we simply find a random percentage of the original cost before tax.

[tex]\frac{7\times380}{100} =2660\div100=26.6=26.60[/tex]
7% sales tax rate.

Hope this helps.
