Answer 1

To find the amount of tax you will pay, you need to multiply the total cost by the tax rate (as a decimal).

Tax amount = Total cost * Tax rate

Tax amount = $21.25 * 0.06

Tax amount = $1.275

Rounded to the nearest cent, the amount of tax you will pay is $1.28.

Therefore, the correct answer is $1.29.
