Answer: Sales tax would be $5.40

Step-by-step explanation: The sales value itself of the dress (that is, without tax) is $65.49.

The amount charged as sales tax in Pearland is given as 8.25% (or 0.0825).

Hence if she is shopping in Pearland, the AMOUNT OF SALES TAX she would pay can be calculated as,

Sales tax = Sales price x 0.0825

Sales tax = 65.49 x 0.0825

Sales tax = 5.402925

Approximately to two decimal places, the sales tax becomes $5.40
