Edward paid $4.77 in sales tax on an item that cost $53 before tax at that rate how much would he pay in sales tax for an item that cost 61.00 before tax

He would pay $5.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward paid $4.77 in sales tax on an item that cost $53 before tax.

Percentage of sales tax given on the item = × 100

                                                                      = 0.09 × 100

                                                                      = 9%

9% sales tax of an item that cost 61.00 = × 61

                                                                = 0.09 × 61

                                                                = $5.49

He would pay $5.49 in sales tax for an item that cost $61.00 before tax.
