well this is how u find ur answer wth this simple equation: first u need to change 6.5% into a decimal which is 0.065 then u multiply that to 59.99 to get :59.99×0.065=3.89935 that is not money so u have to look at the 3rd spot after the decimal point which is 9 so u round that up to 90 since 9 is greater than 5 so it get moved up 1 number so ur answer will be 3.90+59.99=63.89 for Darwins new soccer cleats
