Answer:

62.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the cost of things without sales tax:

32.5+ (13×2)=58.5

Convert percent to decimal:

8/100=0.08

Multiply cost without sales tax by sales tax to get the amount added to the cost:

0.08×58.2=4.656

Add cost and sales tax amount to get total payment:

4.656+58.5=62.856

Round the total payment to the nearest hundredth place:

62.86
