A computer set sells for  32,000.00  pesos what is the tax rate for selling the computer set if the sales tax amount to 2,720.00 pesos

To find the tax rate, we can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Tax Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Sales Tax}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100
\]

Where:
- Sales Tax = 2,720.00 pesos
- Original Price = 32,000.00 pesos

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Tax Rate} = \left( \frac{2720}{32000} \right) \times 100
\]

Let me calculate that for you.
