You're holiday shopping and find a good sale! The normal price of a Twins shirt is $30, but it is on sale for $24. The tax on the sale price is $1.32. What is the discount rate? What is the tax rate?

Discount rate:  you saved $6.00 off an original amount of $30.00

     --->     6/30  =  1/5  =  .2  =  .20  =  20%

Tax rate:  $1.32 / $24.00  =  0.055  =  5.5%
