To calculate the sales tax Denise will pay on the chandelier, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate}
\]
In this case, the price of the chandelier is $786, and the tax rate is 8%, which can be expressed as a decimal (0.08).
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 786 \times 0.08
\]
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 62.88
\]
Denise will pay $62.88 in sales tax.
