The problem shown in your image asks for the amount of sales tax to be paid for a television stand costing $187, with a sales tax rate of 6%.

To calculate the sales tax, use the formula:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \left( \frac{\text{Sales Tax Rate}}{100} \right)
\]

Given:
- Price = $187
- Sales Tax Rate = 6%

Substitute the values:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 187 \times \left( \frac{6}{100} \right) = 187 \times 0.06 = 11.22
\]

So, the amount of sales tax is **$11.22**.

The correct answer is the option "$11.22."
