Answer:

$1.1

Explanation:

In a state with a sales tax rate of 6%,

Alex bought paper for his printer for

$17.99.

The amount of his sales tax to the nearest penny is calculated as:

Sales tax rate × Cost of Paper for his printer

Sales tax = 6% × $17.99

= 6/100 × $17.99

=$ 1.0794

Approximately≈ $1.1
