Answer 1

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

Total cost: $219.32
Tax rate: 6% or 0.06 (as a decimal)

Tax amount: $219.32 * 0.06 = $13.16

Rounding to the nearest cent, the amount of tax you will pay is $13.16.

Therefore, the correct response is $12.91.
