Answer:

8% is the sales tax rate

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not the best with math but the way I found the answer was by first using my local sales tax rate and determining how much the tax would be.

490 * 8.75% = 42.875

Knowing that this amount was higher than in the equation, I lowered the sales tax to 8% (0.08)

490 * 8% = 39.2

Hope this was somewhat helpful
