To find Connor's total cost, we first need to determine the amusement tax.

If we assume that the amusement tax is a certain percentage of the ticket price, you can calculate the total cost by adding the tax to the cost of the ticket.

For example, if the amusement tax is 15% (which is a common rate in some areas), the calculation would be:

  1. Calculate the tax amount: Tax = Ticket Price × Tax Rate Tax = $12.60 × 0.15 = $1.89

  2. Total cost: Total Cost = Ticket Price + Tax Total Cost = $12.60 + $1.89 = $14.49

Based on this calculation, Connor's total cost of his movie ticket including the amusement tax is $14.49.

So, the response you should select is: $14.49.
