Solution:

The sales tax for a purchase price of $237.42 with the sales tax rate of 6% is $14.25_.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The purchase price is $237.42 and sales tax rate is 6%.

Formula used:

The formula for sales tax is given below:

sales tax=(purchase price)×(sales tax rate)100

Where, the sales tax rate is tax per $1.00 of the purchase price or a percent of the purchase price.

Calculation:

Consider the given purchase price of $237.42 and given sales tax rate 6%.

Therefore, the sales tax is,

sales tax=($237.42)×(6)100= $14.2452$14.25

Hence, for the given purchase price of $237.42 and given sales tax rate of 6%, the sales tax is $14.25.
