Answer:

$31.79

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to change 6% into a decimal:

6% -> [tex]\frac{6}{100}[/tex] -> 0.06

Next, lets multiply 29.99 by 0.06:

[tex]x= 29.99(0.06)[/tex]

[tex]x=1.80[/tex]

Now add 1.79 to 29.99 to get the answer:

[tex]29.99 + 1.80 = 31.79[/tex]

The sweater will cost $31.79 after tax.
