1. **State the problem:** Matias wants to buy a tent priced at 185.29. The sales tax rate is 5.85%. We need to find the amount of sales tax he will pay. 2. **Formula:** Sales tax amount is calculated by multiplying the price by the tax rate. $$\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate}$$ 3. **Convert the tax rate to decimal:** 5.85% means 5.85 per 100, so $$5.85\% = \frac{5.85}{100} = 0.0585$$ 4. **Calculate the sales tax:** $$\text{Sales Tax} = 185.29 \times 0.0585$$ 5. **Multiply:** $$185.29 \times 0.0585 = 10.837765$$ 6. **Round to the nearest cent:** $$10.837765 \approx 10.84$$ **Final answer:** Matias will pay **10.84** in sales tax.
