Answer: $3.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kevin buys 4 folding chairs.

Each chair costs $13.50.

The sales tax  = 6.5% = 0.065

Cost of 4 folding chairs= 4 x Cost of one chair

\(=4\times13.50=\$54\)

Amount of Sales tax = 0.065 x Cost of 4 chairs    

= \(0.065\times54=\$3.51\)

Hence, the amount of sales tax for Kevin's purchases = $3.51
