    If I'm interpreting this question correctly, then you want to know the tax per dollar. In order to find that, you need to find the percentage of $420 that equals $60. So,

    420x = 60

    x = 60/420

    x = 0.1429 (rounded)

    So, the tax rate would be this value multiplied by 100%.

    0.1429 x 100% = 14.29%
