If you want the total cost multiply 148.98 x 1.065 =158.6637 or $158.66. If you just want to know the tax then multiply 148.98 x 0.065 = 9.68. Then you can add the 9.68 tax to 148.98 for a total of 158.66. I like to keep it simple, so I always multiply by 1 and the % tax.

A tax of 6.5% means 6.5 cents per dollar. So every dollar is going to wind up costing 1.065 (fractions of a cent are always rounded down). That is, 1.00 * .065.

You should be able to figure it out now.

Enter 148.98 then multiply by 1.065.
The result is the total including tax.

% means that you move the decimal place over two times to the left.
Your equation is:

148.98 x .065 = 9.6837

Rounded down to two decimal places is: $9.68 tax

$148.98 + $9.68 = $158.66 is your total

148.98 * (1+6.5%)
148.98*(1.065)
158.6637
$158.66
