If you would like to know how much did the shirt cost after 6% tax, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6% of $43 = 6/100 * 43 = $2.58

$43 + $2.58 = $45.58

The correct result would be $45.58.

=======================================================

Explanation:

We'll start off converting each mixed number into an improper fraction.

The formula to use is $A \frac{b}{c} = \frac{A*c+b}{c}$

So,

$A \frac{b}{c} = \frac{A*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{2*8+1}{8}\\\\2 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{16+1}{8}\\\\2 \frac{1}{8} = \frac{17}{8}\\\\$

And,

$A \frac{b}{c} = \frac{A*c+b}{c}\\\\2 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2*3+2}{3}\\\\2 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6+2}{3}\\\\2 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}\\\\$

So the task of computing $2 \frac{1}{8} \times 2 \frac{2}{3}$ is exactly the same as computing $\frac{17}{8} \times \frac{8}{3}$

Notice how we have an 8 up top and an 8 down below. Those 8's cancel out and we're left with $\frac{17}{3}$ . That fraction does not reduce any further.
