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