The
tax is normally done to the total so add the prices up
2.50+8.75+3.00+10.25=24.5
 percent
is 6%
 percent
means parts out of 100 so
 6%=6/100=0.6/10=0.06/1=0.06
6%
of total
'of''
translates to multiply
 24.50
times 0.06=tax=1.47

$1.47
If you add $2.50, $8.75, $3.00, and $10.25 together you will get $24.50 .
Then multiply $24.50 by 0.06 and you will get the tax.
