First, let's create an equation for this problem. Remember, 5.36% = 0.0536
9($2,136 × 0.0536)

Now, you would solve it using the distributive property (PEMDAS). You would start in the parenthesis.
9($2,136 × 0.0536)
9 × 114.4896 = $1,030.4064

Your answer, rounded, would be $1,030.

I hope this helps!
