1 answer

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:

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

Now, we can calculate the tax:

Tax=Total cost×Tax rate=21.52×0.06=1.2912

Finally, we round this amount to the nearest cent:

1.29121.29

So, the amount of tax you would pay is $1.29.
