Sure! Let's go through the problem step by step to determine the total amount of money a person will pay for a loaf of bread in a city with a [tex]\(6.5\%\)[/tex] sales tax.
1. Identify the cost of the loaf of bread:
- Cost per item for the Loaf of Bread: \[tex]$5.00.
2. Determine if the loaf of bread is subject to sales tax:
- According to the table, the loaf of bread is not subject to sales tax.
3. Calculate the total amount:
- Since the loaf of bread is not subject to sales tax, the total amount a person will pay is simply the cost of the loaf of bread itself.
4. Round the total amount, if necessary:
- The cost is \$[/tex]5.00, so it remains \[tex]$5.00 when rounded to the nearest cent.
Therefore, the total amount of money a person will pay for a loaf of bread is:
\[
\$[/tex]5.00
\]
