To calculate the total amount of tax you would pay on these items, first, you need to find the total cost of the items. Here are the item prices:
- Cookie dough bites: $2.99
- Phone charger: $10.25
- Chicken wrap: $7.29
- Large drink: $0.99
Now, let's add these amounts together:
\[ \text{Total cost} = 2.99 + 10.25 + 7.29 + 0.99 = 21.52 \]
Next, we calculate the tax at a rate of 6%. To convert 6% to decimal, we divide by 100:
\[ 6% = \frac{6}{100} = 0.06 \]
Now, we can calculate the tax:
\[ \text{Tax} = \text{Total cost} \times \text{Tax rate} = 21.52 \times 0.06 = 1.2912 \]
Finally, we round this amount to the nearest cent:
\[ 1.2912 \approx 1.29 \]
So, the amount of tax you would pay is $1.29.
