$975 * 0.06=$58.50 I times the price by the sales tax!

Answer 2

If the hat is $975 and the sales tax was 6%, multiply the $975 by 0.06 (%6).
So:
975(0.06) = 58.5
You will add the $58.5 to the $975, since this is your total sales tax on the hat.
$975+$58.5 = $1,033.5
Rose will pay $1,033.5 for the hat.
