Answer:

$47.74

Explanation:

Sales tax rate: 5%;

Price without tax: $3.25 dollars;

Amount of sales tax ≈ $0.16 dollars;

Price with sales tax ≈ $3.41 dollars;

Detailed calculations below:Amount of sales tax =

Sales tax rate × Price without sales tax =

5% × 3.25 =

5/100 × 3.25 =

0.05 × 3.25 =

0.1625 ≈

0.16;

Price with sales tax =

Price without sales tax + Amount of sales tax =

3.25 + 0.1625 =

3.4125 ≈

3.41;

means that we need to do 3.41 times 14 there your answer
