Answer:

  20%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the tax rate if the added tax brings the cost of $45 purchase to a total of $54.

Multiplier

The multiplier applied to a purchase cost to add the tax is ...

   (1 +r)

where r is the tax rate.

Here, that means ...

  45(1 +r) = 54

  1 +r = 54/45 = 1.20

  r = 1.20 -1 = 0.20 = 20%

The tax rate Delia paid on the articles she bought was 20%.
