As the total price(C. P) for all the items purchased by Sam was $28
Therefore ;Sales tax =29.82 - 28= $1.82

Find the total of his purchase:

Brushes = $8

Palette = $5

Oil paints = $15

Total = 8 + 5 + 15 = $28


Find the tax amount he paid:

Tax = Amount paid - total purchase

Tax =29.82 - 28 = $1.82


Find the tax rate:

Tax rate = tax/total purchase x 100

Tax rate = 1.82/28 x 100 = 6.5%


Answer: The tax rate is 6.5%
