The amount of tax on jacob’s purchase is $6.16.

What is Tax rate?

Tax rate is simply the ratio at which a business or person is taxed.

To determine the amount of tax on Jacob’s purchase, we simply multiply the total purchase made by the tax rate.

Total purchase by Jacob; [tex]P = 62.75 + 14.25 = 77[/tex]

Sales tax rate; [tex]r = 8/100[/tex]

Hence, the amount of tax on jacob’s purchase is;

[tex]= 77 * \frac{8}{100}\\ \\= 6.16[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of tax on jacob’s purchase is $6.16.
