Answer:

$19.03

Explanation:

Okay, this is a standard percentage problem, so learning how to do this is necessary. First, we have to find what 6% of $17.95 is, since of is our keyword and that means to multiply, and percentages turn into decimals:

17.95 x 0.06 = 1.08

So we have our tax, then we have to add that to our original price to get the whole thing:

17.95 + 1.08 = 19.03

So the total sale price is $19.03
