Carla purchased a hat for $12, a purse for $26, and a dress for $125. the sales tax rate was 5.6 percent. what was the total amount she paid? $153.87

5/100 = 0.056 sales tax

$12+$26+$125= $163 total purchase without tax (add the base prices of the items she bought).

$163*0.056 = 9.128 tax based on how much she bought (the total amount she paid is the sum of the basic price and the sales tax which is the 5.6% of the prices)

$163+9.128-$172.128 total amount she paid
