To find Pete's grand total, including sales tax, you need to calculate the amount of sales tax and then add it to the original bill.
First, calculate the amount of sales tax by multiplying the original bill by the tax rate. In this case, the tax rate is 6%, so convert it to decimal form by dividing by 100: 6% ÷ 100 = 0.06.
Next, multiply the original bill of $200 by the tax rate of 0.06: $200 * 0.06 = $12.
Finally, add the amount of sales tax to the original bill to get Pete's grand total: $200 + $12 = $212.
Therefore, Pete's grand total, including sales tax, is $212.
