The problem you uploaded asks for the total price of stationary, including sales tax, with the following information:

- The cost of the stationary is **$25**.
- The sales tax rate is **8.25%**.

### Solution:

1. **Convert the sales tax rate into a decimal**:  
   $ 8.25\% = \frac{8.25}{100} = 0.0825 $

2. **Find the sales tax amount**:  
   $ \text{Sales Tax} = 25 \times 0.0825 = 2.0625 $

3. **Find the total cost**:  
   $ \text{Total Cost} = 25 + 2.0625 = 27.0625 $

4. **Round to the nearest cent**:  
   The total cost is approximately **$27.06**.

So, the total for the stationary including sales tax is **$27.06**.
