    Answer: 5%

    Based on the information provided above, your earning has nothing to do with your sales tax. Your sales tax is simply the tax you pay on any item (s) you purchase. Therefore, a person who makes twice as much money as you will also pay for merchandise at the same hardware store at same tax rate of 5%.
