If lila paid 189 dollars for clothes and had to pay 6 1/2 percent sales tax, what will be her total?

Okay so, first things first, 6.5%, in order to make it a decimal you would move the decimal point twice making it 0.065. You would then multiply the total, which in this case is 189, by the decimal. to get the answer which is 12.285 which would round to 12.29. Then add the total and the tax for 201.29 dollars.
