hello

to solve this problem, we will first of all find 6.5% in $9.00

this would be the cost or rate of the tax


\begin{gathered} 6.5\text{ \% of 9.0} \\ (6.5)/(100)=(x)/(9.0) \\ x=(9.0*6.5)/(100) \\ x=0.585 \end{gathered}

the cost of the tax is $0.585

the total cost of the purchase is the sum of the cost of the chew toy plus the tax


9.0+0.585=9.585

Kane spent $9.585 in the store
