Answer:

I'm here to help!

First, we need to make a proportion to find the sales tax:

(Let x= Sales tax)

[tex]\frac{100}{8.25} =\frac{75}{x} \\100x=75*8.25\\x=6.1875[/tex]

We have the sales tax!

Now we need to estimate, as you cannot have.75 of a cent...

[tex]x=about6.19[/tex]

Now to add them:

[tex]75+6.19=81.19[/tex]

There you go! The total cost is about 81.19!

Hope this helps!

P.S. Stay Safe!
