Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price increased from 800 to 900. So what is the PERCENTAGE INCREASE??

The increase is 900 - 800 = 100

To find this in terms of original, we need to divide 100 by 800 and multiply by 100 to get the "percentage". Let's do it:

[tex]\frac{100}{800}*100=12.5[/tex]

So the increase is 12.5% and thus the general sales tax is 12.5%
