Answer: $3.64

Explanation:

If we're using the formula, tax = % of whole, we will need to fill some values.

The whole is $6, as it's the total money you need to pay before tax

% can be written as 6/100, as we are being charged 6% in tax, and percent is written as 1/100

"of" is just a way to say * in english

So our equation is tax = 6/100 * 6

Which means tax = 36/100

Then, you add the tax to the original value, to get $6 + $0.36 = $6.36

Finally, if you hand the cashier $10, and you spent $6.36, your change is $10 - $6.36, which is $3.64.

Explanation:

Total price of the 4 toys = 4 x $1.50 = $6.00

tax is 6% of 6.00

= .06 * $ 6.00 = $ .36 which is added to the purchase price

$ 6.00 + .36 = $ 6.36 change from a $10 will be

$ 10.00 - 6.36 = $ 3.64
