You plan to buy $12,000 in computers at a local chain store. There are two stores located about the same distance from your office but in different cities with different tax rates. One city has a tax rate of 7% and the other has a tax rate of 8.5%. What percent can you save by going with the lower tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

Okay lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city;

CITY1:=12000(7%)=12000(0.07)=840

CITY2=12000(8.5%)=12000(0.085)=1020

So if you go to CITY1 instead of CITY2, you will save 1020-840=180

so if 180 out of 12000 =180/12000 which is equal to 0.015

and that is the 1.5%, so that what you can save.

HOPE THIS HELPS
