Answer:

  • tax: $30.69
  • total: $525.69

Explanation:

You want the tax and total on a purchase of $495 with a 6.2% tax rate.

Tax

The tax is found by multiplying the tax rate by the amount to which it applies:

0.062 × $495 = $30.69

Total

The total is the purchase price plus the tax due:

$495 + 30.69 = $525.69
