Answer:

$0.7475

Explanations:

3) From the question, we are given the following parameters

The sales price of the stuffed animal = $14.95

The sales tax = 5%

We are to get the price charged as tax. This is expressed as shown:


\text{Tax price}=5\%\text{ of the sales price}

Substitute the sales price given into the equation to have:


\begin{gathered} \text{Tax price = 0.05}*14.95 \\ \text{Tax price = \$}0.7475 \end{gathered}

Hence the sales tax on the elephant is $0.7475
