Answer:

$1.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

5% of $13.15

To find the answer we simply use the formula to calculate percentage.

[tex]\frac{t\times i}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{15\times13.15}{100} =15\times13.15=197.25\div100=1.9725[/tex]
[tex]1.9725[/tex]
Round to the nearest cent:
[tex]1.9725[/tex]
[tex]2<5[/tex]
[tex]1.98[/tex]

The sales tax was "$1.98."

Hope this helps.
