Answer:

$1.33

Explanation:

To find the cost of the 6% tax, multiply the tax by the cost of the notebook.

tax = (0.06)(1.25) = $0.075

Add this tax cost to the cost of the notebook for the total.

total = 1.25 + 0.075 = $1.325 = $1.33

Round to the nearest hundreth.

OR

You could multiply:

total = (1.06)(1.25) = $1.325 = $1.33
