Now you need to find how much tax you will pay for your items. Use your total cost from the previous question and find the amount of tax you will pay if the tax rate is 6%. (Hint: remember to change the percent to a decimal). Round to the nearest cent. (1 point)
To find the amount of tax, we need to multiply the total cost by the tax rate.
Tax rate as a decimal = 6% / 100% = 0.06
Therefore, the amount of tax will be:
Tax = Total cost * Tax rate
= $562.50 * 0.06
= $33.75
Rounded to the nearest cent, the amount of tax you will pay is $33.75.
