In the question it is already given that 4 items are being purchased and their individual rates are also given. the percentage of tax that needs to be paid is also given. To find the total amount of tax that has to be paid, you can either calculate the taxes on individual items and then add them or you can add the total amount required for the 4 items and then calculate the tax. Both will yield the same result but the second process is easier.
Cost of all the 4 items purchased = (2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25)
                                                       = 24.50
Percentage of tax that needs to be paid = 6%
Amount of tax that needs to be paid = (6/100) * 24.50
                                                           = 147/100
                                                           = 1.47
So the amount of tax that needs to be paid is 1.47.

Answers:

When we evaluate a logarithm, we are finding the exponent, or <u>    power   </u>  x, that the  <u>   base   </u> b, needs to be raised so that it equals the <u>  argument   </u> m. The power is also known as the exponent.

5^2 = 25 \to \log_5(25) = 2

The value of b must be <u>   positive    </u> and not equal to <u>   1   </u>

The value of m must be <u>   positive   </u>

If 0 < m < 1, then x < 0

A <u>   logarithmic  </u>    <u>   equation  </u> is an equation with a variable that includes one or more logarithms.

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

Explanation:

Logarithms, or log for short, basically undo what exponents do.

When going from 5^2 = 25 to \log_5(25) = 2, we have isolated the exponent.

More generally, we have b^x = m turn into \log_b(m) = x

When using the change of base formula, notice how

\log_b(m) = \frac{\log(m)}{\log(b)}

If b = 1, then log(b) = log(1) = 0, meaning we have a division by zero error. So this is why b \ne 1

We need b > 0 as well because the domain of y = log(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So this is why m > 0 also.
