A sales tax is a form of tax that is levied on the purchase of goods and services. Taxes increase the cost of a good or service. The amount of tax paid can bee determined by multiplying the tax rate by the cost of the lawnmower.

The amount of tax paid = cost of the lawnmower x sales tax

= $122.50 x 0.08

= $9.80
