Answer:

D. $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sales tax = 6%

           Cost of items= $33.26

Now, finding the amount of sales tax charged on the purchase of items.

As given, 6% sales tax charged on the purchase of items.

∴ Amount of sale tax= [tex]Sales\ tax\% \times cost\ of\ items\ purchased[/tex]

[tex]Amount\ of\ sales\ tax= \frac{6}{100} \times \$ 33.26[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Amount\ of\ sales\ tax= \$ 1.9956 \approx \$ 2[/tex]

Hence, the amount of sales on purchase of items is $2.
