William buys a basket of lemons on sale for $11 before tax. the sales tax is 15%. what is the total price william pays for the basket of lemons?

It would be 12.65 dollars because you multiply 11 times 0.15 and add that answer to 11

Compute the tax then add it to the original amount.

Convert the percent into a decimal by moving the % sign two places to the left and making the % sign into a decimal point.

15% = 0.15

0.15 * 11 = 1.65

Now add it back to the original amount.

11 + 1.65 = 12.65

So, $12.65 is the answer.
