Right. 6% = 0.06
You could multiply 0.06 * 8.50 to find the tax. Then you can add the tax to the original price.

C. $9.01
Cost price = $8.50
Sales tax = 6% x 8.50
0.06 x 8.50 = $0.51
Total cost = Cost price + Sales tax
= $8.50 + $0.51 = $9.01
Cost price = $8.50
Sales tax = 6% x 8.50
0.06 x 8.50 = $0.51
Total cost = Cost price + Sales tax
= $8.50 + $0.51 = $9.01
