$146.73

Explanation:

1. Calculate the 'Amount of sales tax':

Formula:

Amount of sales tax =

Sales tax rate × Price without sales tax

Calculation:

Amount of sales tax =

9.5% × 134 =

9.5/100 × 134 =

9.5 ÷ 100 × 134 =

0.095 × 134 =

12.73

2. Calculate the 'Price with sales tax':

Formula:

Price with sales tax =

Price without sales tax + Amount of sales tax

Calculation:

Price with sales tax =

134 + 12.73 =

146.73

Answer:

Amount of sales tax = $12.73 dollars;

Price with sales tax = $146.73 dollars;
