Start with your $22.50 subtotal (cost without tax)

Then, solve for 6.5% of $22.50

Set your equation up like so: 6.5/100=x/22.50

Cross multiply then you should have 100x=146.25

Solve to get 1.4625% (If you need it rounded, it's 1.5%)

1.5% ----> $1.46

$22.50+$1.56=$23.96

She spent $23.96

I'm pretty sure the answer's $1.46.

($1.46 is the amount of tax, not the total)

Hope this helped, please mark brainiest!
