$2

false

Explanation:

A tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services by the government. Taxes increases the price of goods

Tax = amount consumers pay - amount producers receive

$6 - $3 = $3

Tax paid by consumers = Price after tax - tax before tax

$6 - $5 = $1

Amount received by producers = tax - tax paid by consumers

$3 - $1 = $2
