Answer: [tex]\$1.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the rate for sales tax is:

[tex]6.2\%=\frac{6.2}{100}=0.062[/tex]

This means Cindy has to pay for the bouquet of roses and the bouquet of daisies plus the [tex]6.2\%[/tex] of the value of each item.

So, we have to calculate the sales tax for both items:

[tex]Sales_Tax=\$ 18.75(0.062) + \$ 9.50(0.062)=\$ 1.1625 + \$ 0.589[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]Sales_Tax=\$ 1.7515 \approx \$1.75[/tex]
