Answer:

4.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of item __ sales tax

10 ___________0.46

50 __________ 2.30

5 ___________ 0.23

To obtain the sales tax % :

Sales tax % * cost of item = amount of sales tax

Let sales tax % = x

Using any of the rows in the table :

x * 10 = 0.46

x = 0.46 / 10

x = 0.046

x = (0.046) * 100% = 4.6%
