Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

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%
