To Convert a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage number by 100.

6.5% : 100 =.065.

This is the rate you will multiply $14.29 by to get the amount of sales tax you must pay.

The correct answer is (0.065) (14.29) = $0.93

Based on the information provided, none of the above options are correct.

The options provided would make more sense if it were a 6 3/4% tax, and the answer would be B.
