Answer:161.34 thats the price with tax added if thats what youre asking. if not its 8.98865 or 8.99

i rounded up

161.33865

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to multiply the tax rate by the price but change the rate to a decimal first which is 0.059. that gives you 8.99 then add that to the price.
