Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

i think I can help you with this

you can find the cost of the tax using a rule of three

Step  1

Let

define, if

$18.95  = 100 percent

$x?        =6 percent

rule of three

$18.95  = 100%

$x?        =6%

the relation is the same,so.

$\frac{18.95}{100} =\frac{x}{6} \\\\x=\frac{18.95*6}{100}\\\\x= \frac{113.7}{100} \\\\x=1.137\\x= 1.14$

the  sales tax is $1.14
