Susan must pay $13.41

Explanation:

Total cost of:
notebooks: 4times1.29=5.16
pens: 2times2.15=4.30
markers: 1times3.19=3.19

Amount of money without tax: 5.16+4.30+3.19=12.65

If tax is 6%, then it is tax is basically 6/100 of 12.65
ie 6/100times12.65=0.759

Therefore, Susan must pay 0.759+12.65=13.41
