he paid $1.02 tax. i think that based on this, the tax rate would be 1.025%, but i might be wrong ;

The sales tax rate is calculated by finding the sales tax amount paid, which was $1.02, and dividing it by the book's price of $24.00. This gives a tax rate of 0.0425 or 4.25%. Therefore, the final sales tax rate is 4.25%.
