The rate of tax is a percentage of the selling price.
A percentage is easily understood if you think of the American money system.
If you think of $1.00 as 100%, than a penny is 1%, a nickel is 5%, a dime is 10%, a quarter is 25% and so on. It is simply the part of the whole divided by 100.
$3/$100 is 3/100 or 3%.
