What is the tax rate for Missouri mentioned in the scenario?

• A. 6%
• B. 30%
• C. 8%
• D. 15%

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is to identify the exact tax rate stated for Missouri in the scenario and use that figure for any calculations. The scenario specifies 8% as Missouri’s rate, so 8% is the value you apply. The other numbers don’t match what the scenario says, so they wouldn’t yield the results the scenario expects. Remember that in real life, Missouri’s state sales tax is around 4.225%, and the total with local taxes can be higher—often near 8% in many areas—so the 8% in the scenario likely reflects a combined rate rather than just the state portion.
