To calculate the sales tax Sarah will pay on the iron bench, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate}
\]
In this case, the price of the bench is $84, and the sales tax rate is 10%, which can be expressed as 0.10 in decimal form.
Now, plug in the values:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 84 \times 0.10 = 8.4
\]
So, Sarah will pay **$8.40** in sales tax.
