    Okay! Assuming this only wants the tax that will be added to the total, multiply the decimal percent by the cost of the item.

    7.5% =.075

    14.80 *.075 = 1.11

    1.11 of tax will be added onto the total cost.

    The total cost would be 15.91, which you can get from adding 14.80 to 1.11 or by doing 14.80 * 1.075. Regardless, the answer to this question is 1.11.
