total amount of your purchase?

60.36 cents

Explanation:

you have to times 60 by .6 then you get 36 and that is how much taxes cost.

Answer 2

$63.60

Explanation:

4 board games are $15 each, multiply 4*15 = 60.

There is a 6% sales tax, so it is 6% extra. To calculate 6% as a decimal, divide it by 100, so 6/100 = 0.06. Now that it is 0.06 extra, you add 0.06 to 1.00 because 1.00 is the 100% of the price (the $60). So now it is 1.06 of the price. Multiply 60 * 1.06 and you get $63.60
