Answer 1

..tax = increase

6% tax coefficient = 1+(6/100)= 1.06

price paid with tax: 8.5*1.06=$9.01

8.5*6/100=0,51

price with tax: 8.5+0.51=$9.01

Answer 2

The total cost of the shirt is $9.01

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost, we need to add the shirt price and the sales tax. The sales tax is 6% of $8.50, which is $0.51. Adding this to the shirt price, the total cost is $8.50 + $0.51 = $9.01.
