You need to calculate tax on orders. the subtotal for an order is $26.18 and a tax of six percent needs to be added. what would be the final total?

The tax on the order is $1.571 and the final total for an order is $27.751 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The subtotal for an order is $26.18 and a tax of six percent needs to be added.

6% is written in the decimal form

= 0.06

Thus

Tax on orders = 0.06 × Subtotal for an order

                       = 0.06 × 26.18

                       = $ 1.571 (Approx)

Thus

Final total for an order = Subtotal for an order  + Tax on order

                                      = $26.18 + $ 1.571

                                      = $ 27.751

Therefore the tax on the order is $1.571 and the final total for an order is $27.751 .
