To calculate the sales tax that Debbie will pay on the set of golf clubs priced at $565.52 with a sales tax rate of 9%, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate}
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 565.52 \times 0.09

Calculating that:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 50.8968
