    8.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage of the subtotal is sales tax.

    Let the percentage they have to pay be x%

    This mathematically means that:

    x/100 * 52 = 4.42

    52x = 100 * 4.42

    52x = 442

    x = 442/52

    x = 8.5

    Hence, x = 8.5%

    The percentage of the subtotal that is for sales tax is 8.5%
