Calculating with a Percent

[calculate, percent, formula]

I am trying to calculate sales tax in a table. I have my subtotal being
calculated just fine. When I put my formula in which is = ((subtotal
column)*6%) it is giving me a syntax error. I have also put 0.06 instead of
6% and it still doesn't work. Please help me.

I am assuming that the subtotal occupies a cell in the table. Lets say it
is in C12

Use {=(c12*.06)}
