A certain tax rate is $.82 per $100.00. What is the rate, expressed as a percent?

A. 82%
B. 8.2%
C. 0.82%
D. 0.082%
E. 0.0082%

So the tax rate is 0.82$ per 100$.

1% of 100 is 1$. So we are definitely talking less than 1%.

Since 1$ = 100c and we need 82 cents from that 1$. So that's 0.82*100c=82c

Answer C.

To express the tax rate as a percent, we need to convert the given rate from dollars per $100 to a percentage.

The given tax rate is $.82 per $100.00.

To convert it to a percentage, we can divide the tax rate by $100 and then multiply by 100 to get the equivalent percentage.

Tax rate in percentage = ($0.82 / $100) * 100

Simplifying this expression, we find:

Tax rate in percentage = 0.82%

Therefore, the tax rate, expressed as a percent, is 0.82%, which corresponds to option (C) in the given choices.

Percent is per 100. We are already given 0.82 per 100, so answer is 0.82%
