Answer:

$0.13

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find sales tax of an item, you need to first convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

4.4/100 = 0.044

To find the amount of tax on an item that costs $3.00, you multiply the cost by the decimal:

3 x 0.044 = 0.132

0.132 rounded to the nearest cent is $0.13
