To calculate the total amount due at the register, you first need to calculate the amount of tax added to the item price.
1. Calculate 5% of the item price:
\[
\text{Tax} = 0.05 \times 21 = 1.05
\]
2. Add the tax to the original item price:
\[
\text{Total Amount} = \text{Item Price} + \text{Tax} = 21 + 1.05 = 22.05
\]
So, the total amount due at the register is **$22.05**.
1. Calculate 5% of the item price:
\[
\text{Tax} = 0.05 \times 21 = 1.05
\]
2. Add the tax to the original item price:
\[
\text{Total Amount} = \text{Item Price} + \text{Tax} = 21 + 1.05 = 22.05
\]
So, the total amount due at the register is **$22.05**.
