Answer 2

Tax:

$0.899 (or about 90 cents)

Total:

$13.299 ( or about $13.30)

Explanation:

To find tax rate you convert the percent to a decimal, which gives you .0725. Then you multiply that by the the original amount of the product, which gives you a tax of about 90 cents.

To find the total amount you add the tax rate to the original amount to get about $13.90.
