0.0825 is how you express the tax percentage in the problem. Multiply that number by 8 to find out how much tax she paid.
How much do you get? It's not 0.0825!

Q: well how did you get 81/4 to .0825?
To calculate the sales tax, you need to multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. In this case, the sales tax rate is given as 8 1/4 cents per dollar, which can be written as 0.0825 (since there are 100 cents in a dollar).
To calculate the sales tax on the t-shirt, you need to multiply the purchase price ($8) by the sales tax rate (0.0825).
$8 * 0.0825 = $0.66
Therefore, Heather will pay $0.66 in sales tax on her purchase.
The correct option is D) $0.66.
