    Answer:

    $1.26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So you just have to find 2.25% of 56.

    To find a certain percentage of something, you multiply it. Let’s write out a sentence explaining what you need to do. You have to find:

    2.25% of 56

    Whenever you’ve got a sentence like this, all you’ve got to do is change the word “of” to a multiplication symbol. And now you’ve got an expression:

    2.25% × 56

    Let’s convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, you simply remove the percent symbol, then move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

    2.25% = 0.0225

    And now you have:

    0.0225 × 56

    Then you just do the math! I am assuming you already know how to do decimal multiplication so I’m not going to explain the process here.

    But once you multiply 0.0225 × 56, you get an answer: 1.26

    Hope this was helpful to you, and don’t forget to choose the Brainliest answer!

    Answer:  $1.26

    =======================================================

    Work Shown:

    2.25% = 2.25/100 = 0.0225

    2.25% of 56 dollars = 0.0225*56 = 1.26

    The amount of sales tax is $1.26

    Side note: The total bill is 56 + 1.26 = 57.26 dollars.
