Answer:

$10.32 is the sales tax.

$139.32 is the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax is 8% of the original price.

First, change the percentage into a decimal, by moving the decimal point to the left two place values: 8% = 0.08

Next, multiply 129 with 0.08:

129 x 0.08 = 10.32

$10.32 is the sales tax.

Then, add 10.32 to the original price:

10.32 + 129 = 139.32

$139.32 is the total price.
