Area of rectangle= L*b

here,

L=12.4 cm

b= 8.8 cm

A= L*b

= 12.4 * 8.8 = 109.12 cm^2

Cost before sale tax=$46.00

Cost after including tax=$48.76

Sale tax=$48.76-46.00

=$2.76

we know,

sale tax=((sales tax rate)/100) * cost before sale tax

2.76=((sales tax rate)/100) *46.00

sale tax rate=(2.76*100)/46

                   =276/46

                    =6%

There fore sales tax rate=6%

Cost of 6 gallons =$15
