Answer: $13.5487
Explanation:
Cost of scissors = $11.99
Harmonized sales tax = 13%
The amount that'll be paid to the cashier after the taxes will be the addition of the cost of the scissors plus the taxes and this will be:
= $11.99 + (13% × $11.99)
= $11.99 + $1.5587
= $13.5487
The amount to be paid is $13.5487
