Total bill = $ 26.98
Tax = $ 1.53
Net bill = 26.98 – 1.53 = $ 25.45
So $ 25.45 tax paid is $ 1.53
therefore on $100 tax paid = (1.53/25.43) × 100
= 0.06 × 100 = $ 6
i.e. Tax is 6 %

You mean the bill already includes the tax? Then 1.53 is some percentage of (26.98 - 1.53). So find 1.53 / (26.98 - 1.53).

bill without tax = 26.98 - 1.53 = 25.45
1.53/ 25.45 = 0.0601178
Tax rate = 0.06 or 6 percent
CHECK:
25.45 * 1.06 = total bill
25.45 * 1.06 = 26.977
so the restaurant rounded the penny up to make it $26.98

$25.45 before tax
tax = $1.53
% tax = (1.53 / 25.45) x 100% = 6 %
