Find 1% of 240 which is 2.4. Then times 2.4 by 5 and you get 12. Therefore 5% is the answer

Answer: Percentage of sales tax will be 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original amount of a surfboard = $240

Sales tax on a surfboard = $12

So, Percentage of sales tax will be

[tex]\frac{Sales\ tax}{Original\ price}\times 100\\\\=\frac{12}{24}\times 100\\\\=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\\\\=\frac{100}{2}\\\\=5\%[/tex]

Hence, Percentage of sales tax will be 5%.
