To find out how much you will pay for the calculator with the sales tax, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount of tax:
Multiply the price of the calculator by the sales tax rate.
Tax amount = $12.50 × 7.5% = $0.94 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Step 2: Add the tax amount to the price of the calculator to get the total amount paid.
Total amount paid = Price of the calculator + Tax amount
Total amount paid = $12.50 + $0.94 = $13.44
Therefore, you will pay $13.44 for the calculator, including the sales tax.
