#1: Change 2.5 percent to a decimal.

This is how you change 2.5 into a decimal: By dividing by 100.

2.5 divided by 100 = 0.025

#2: Multiply 6 by 0.025.

6 x 0.025 = 0.15

#3: Last but not least, add 0.15 and 6

6 + 0.15 = 6.15

The answer you are looking for would be 6.15 dollars.

= $6.15

Hope this helps!-Aparri
