Answer 2

Answer:

To calculate the rate of sales tax charged, we can use the following formula:

Rate of sales tax = (Total amount paid - Cost of the item) / Cost of the item

In this case, the cost of the sunglasses is ₹ 625, and the total amount paid (including sales tax) is ₹ 650.

So,

Rate of sales tax = (650 - 625) / 625

= 25 / 625

= 1 / 25

Therefore, the rate of sales tax charged is 1/25 or 4%.
