If you would like to know what is the price for 9 reindeer harnesses, you can calculate this using the following steps:

9 * $17.95 = $161.55

tax rate: 14% of $161.55
14% * 161.55 = 14/100 * 161.55 = $22.617

$161.55 + $22.617 = $184.167 = $184.17

Result: The price for 9 reindeer harnesses is $184.17.

Numerous vital information's have already been provided in the question. It is important to understand them and note them down. This will help in reaching the answer for the question very easily.
Price for each reindeer harness = $17.95
Number of reindeer harness for which the price needs to be found = 9
Amount of sales tax to b added = 14%
Then
Cost of 9 reindeer harnesses = 9 * 17.95
= 161.55
So the total cost of 9 reindeer harnesses is $161.55
Now
Sales tax that needs to be added = (14/100) * 161.55
= 2261.7/100
= 22.62
Then the total amount that needs to be paid = (161.55 + 22.62) dollars
= 184.17 dollars
Then 184.17 dollars need to be paid.
