You find a parallelogram area by this formula:

Where
b is its base and
h, its height.
You get
b's value applying distance between two points formula.
If A and B points form the base:

And
h is the perpendicular distance between both bases.

And in attached picture you can find an example in progress you may want to finish.
If you are buying something that cost $15 and sale tax is 6%, you can calculate final bill trough proportions:
$15:100%=$x:106%
100x=106*15, x=(106*15)/100, x=$15.9 is final bill.
You can also use easier way: $15+0.06*$15=$15.9
Explanation for 2nd way: Cost is $15, on that you need to add 6% of $15: (6%/100%)*$15 and that is 0.06*15.
