Answer 2

Answer: When Celina purchases the $12.99 album, she will be charged $0.90 in sales tax.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the price of the album (12.99) by the tax rate in decimal form (percentage divided by 100)

Mathematically speaking:

12.99 x ( 7/100) =

12.99 x 0.07 = $0.90

When Celina purchases the $12.99 album, she will be charged $0.90 in sales tax.
