Okay so 6.5%  of $14.95 is 0.97175. That rounds to 0.97. And to get the total we just add 0.97 to 14.95. Our answer is 15.92. However if you don't want to round then you would add 14.95 and 0.97175 . This would give you15.92175. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Tax = $0.97175

Final Price = $15.92175

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of tax of an amount you just must multiply this figure by the percentage of the tax expressed in decimal numbers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data:

Price = $14.95

Tax rate = 6.5%

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calculation of tax:

amount = total x percent = $14.95 x 6.5% = $14.95 x 0.065 = $0.97175

Calculation of the final price with tax:

Amount = book cost + tax = $14.95 + $0.97175 = $15.92175

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax = $0.97175

Final Price = $15.92175

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps!
