To calculate the amount of money spent on tax, multiply the cost by the sales tax rate:
Tax = $58.50 x 6.5% = $<<58.50*6.5*.01=3.8025>>3.8025.
Therefore, you will spend $3.8025 on tax.
To find the total amount of money spent, add the cost to the tax:
Total = $58.50 + $3.8025 = $<<58.50+3.8025=62.3025>>62.3025.
Thus, you will spend a total of $62.3025.
