Your question isn't complete as you didn't give the sales tax percent. In order to solve the question, let's assume that the sales tax is 6%.
(a) What is the amount of sales tax that Mr. Speer has to pay?
This will be:
= Sales tax percent × Amount charged
= 6% × $300
= 6/100 × $300
= 0.06 × $300
= $18
The sale tax is $18
(b) What is the total amount Mr. Speer has to pay?.
The total amount will be the addition of the amount charged and the sales tax. This will be:
= $300 + $18
= $318
