To calculate the amount of sales tax Sally will have to pay, you can multiply the price of the snowblower by the sales tax rate.

Sales tax = 349.99 * 0.075 = $26.24

Therefore, Sally will have to pay $26.24 in sales tax.
Your wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct. The sales tax amount is calculated by multiplying the cost of the snowblower by the sales tax rate.

Sales tax = 349.99 * 0.075 = 26.24925

Rounding the sales tax to the nearest hundredth, Sally will have to pay $26.25 in sales tax.
