Verified Answer :

item cost = $2.50

sales tax rate = 6.5% --------------> 0.065
                                           
                      = $2.50 × 0.065 
                      ≈ 0.16
                      = $2.50 + 0.16
                      = $2.66
                    

So Cupid paid $2.66.

Hope I helped :P
