To find the amount of sales tax Cole will pay on his new sneakers, you can use the following formula:
Sales tax amount = total cost x sales tax rate
First, convert the sales tax rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
6.5% ÷ 100 = 0.065
Next, plug in the values given in the problem:
Sales tax amount = $49.56 x 0.065
Sales tax amount = $3.22
Therefore, Cole will pay $3.22 in sales tax on his new sneakers.
