To calculate the sales tax Diane will pay on the surfboard, you multiply the price of the surfboard by the sales tax rate.
1. **Price of the surfboard:** $35
2. **Sales tax rate:** 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form)
Now, calculate the sales tax:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 35 \times 0.03 = 1.05
\]
Diane will pay **$1.05** in sales tax.
