Answer:

[tex]Tennessee \ at \ 7\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the tax rate in each state:

Iowa Tax Rate

[tex]T_t=\frac{47.70-45}{45}\times100\%\\=6\%[/tex]

Tennessee Tax Rate,

[tex]T_t=\frac{37.45-35}{35}\times100\%\\=7\%[/tex]

From our calculations it's clear than Tennessee has the highest tax rate of the two at 7% to Iowa's 6%

Hence Tennessee has a greater sales tax percentage.
