Example:

You bought lunch in New York that was priced at $6.72, and the total bill was $7.37. What is the sales tax rate in this city? (Round answer to two decimal places).

If a lawyer and an IRS agent were both drowning, and you could only save one of them, would you go to lunch or read the paper?
