Answer:

The item has a 9% sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

We are given an item that costs 490 dollars before tax, the sales tax of the item is $44.10, which means the item will cost $534.10 in total. Assuming what you are asking is to find the percentage of the sales tax we will use the formula to calculate percentages, and then add that answer to our before cost to confirm our answer.

Formula to calculate percentages:

[tex]\frac{p\times n}{100}[/tex]
[tex]p=9[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9\times490}{100}[/tex]
[tex]9\times490=4410[/tex]
[tex]4410\div100=44.1=44.10[/tex]
[tex]490+44.10=534.10[/tex]
[tex]=534.10[/tex]

Our sales tax percentage is 9%.

Hope this helps.
