9 dollars (assuming you get 6 percent on everything together and not separately).

Explanation:

I personally like to use this triangle when I work with percentageGoogle SitesGoogle Sites

So we just put in our values. We have the whole and the percentage.

Start with making 6% in decimal form ( you need the percentage in decimal form for this to work)

6% = 0.06

Now take the whole times that. So:

150xx0.06=9

So 9 dollars.

Hope this helps
