Sweatshirt with new school logo cost 22.50 ,plus tax the tax is over 0.06 for every dollar spend. what is the tax on the sweatshirt

Step-by-step explanation:

To find tax on something you multiply the base price by the tax percentage.  So if something is 100 dollars and tax is 5 percent (or .05 in decimal form), you would add 5 dollars to the price.  because 100*.05=5.

If we assume 6% as the tax then we multiply 22.50*.06 = 1.35, so you will add 1.35 to the price.  That means the new price is 22.50 + 1.35 = 23.85.

It's just asking for what the tax is though so the answer is 1.35 at 6%.  The question does say the tax is over 6% though, so that means the tax will only go up from there if the tax is over 6%
