Let cost of item before tax is $x.

Rate of sales tax = 2.5% = 2.5/100 = 0.025 

Cost of groceries with tax = x+0.025x = 1.025x 

Total cost of groceries= $1.60 

1.025x = 1.60 

x = 1.6/1.025 

x = $1.56 

So cost of groceries before sales tax= $1.56

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%
