To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the price by the tax rate:
$29.95 x 0.06 = $1.80
This means Jayce paid $1.80 in sales tax in addition to the original price of $29.95. To find her after-tax total, we add the tax to the original price:
$29.95 + $1.80 = $31.75
Therefore, Jayce's after-tax total was $31.75.
