Answer:

Sales tax: 1.98465 which in this case is $1.98 (take note that you can round and it would be $2)

The total cost: $21.63 so no, Courtney cant buy the stuffed animal :(

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the sales tax by dividing 10.1 by 100 to get 1.984...then rounding that number to get $1.98 since we are working with money in this problem then we have to find the total cost by adding our sales tax ($1.98) to our original cost ($19.65) to get our FINAL answer of $21.63

Hope this helped!!!!!
