Answer: $ 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jennifer buys school supplies for $12.16.

i.e. Total sales = $12.16

The sales tax = 7.25% = 0.0725 [We divide percent by 100 to convert it into decimal]

Then , the amount of tax for Jennifer’s purchases= (Sales tax) x (Total sales)

= (0.0725) x ($12.16)

= $0.8816≈ $ 0.88 [Round off to the nearest cent]

Hence, the amount of tax for Jennifer’s purchases is $ 0.88.
