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#
