To find the amount of tax you will pay, you need to multiply the total cost by the tax rate expressed as a decimal.
Total cost: $219.32
Tax rate: 6% or 0.06 (as a decimal)
Tax amount: $219.32 * 0.06 = $13.16
Rounding to the nearest cent, the amount of tax you will pay is $13.16.
Therefore, the correct response is $12.91.
To find the amount of tax you will pay, you need to multiply the total cost by the tax rate.
The tax rate is given as 6%, which is equivalent to 0.06 as a decimal.
Let's say the total cost is $100.
To calculate the tax amount, you would multiply $100 by 0.06:
$100 * 0.06 = $6
Rounding this to the nearest cent, the tax amount would be $6.00.
Therefore, the correct answer is $6.00.
To find the amount of tax you will pay, you need to multiply the total cost of your items by the tax rate as a decimal.
Step 1: Convert the tax rate from a percentage to a decimal. Since the tax rate is given as 6%, we divide it by 100 to get 0.06 as a decimal.
Step 2: Multiply the total cost of your items by the tax rate as a decimal.
Let's say the total cost of your items is $100. To calculate the tax, you would do:
Tax amount = Total cost * Tax rate
= $100 * 0.06
= $6
Based on this calculation, the amount of tax you will pay is $6.
Rounding to the nearest cent, we find that $6 is equal to $6.00.
Therefore, none of the provided options are correct.
