Answer:

$21.53

Explanation:

Take 12.50 and multiply it by 5%, it equals 0.625. That number represents how much the tax costs, so add it to 12.50, it equals 13.125.

You then have to add the ring.

Take 8 and multiply it by 5%, it equals 0.4. That is the tax, so add it to 8, it equals 8.4.

Add them together, 21.525

Then round to the nearest hundredth.

$21.53 is the final answer.
