To calculate the sales tax Mateo will pay on the bicycle, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate}
\]
In this case, the price of the bicycle is $326.00 and the sales tax rate is 9%, or 0.09 in decimal form.
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 326.00 \times 0.09
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 29.34
\]
Therefore, Mateo will pay **$29.34** in sales tax.
