Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the amount of notebooks and textbook

Cost of 2 notebooks = 2 *8.75

                                  = $ 17.5

Cost of 1 textbook = $ 74.95

Total cost = 17.5 + 74.95

                 = $ 92.45

Tax = 7% of total cost

      = 0.07 * 92.45

      = $ 6.47

Total cost = 92.45 +6.47

                 = $ 98.92

Answer 2

Question -:

Jaleesa bought 2 notebooks for dollar 8. 75 and 1 textbook for dollar 74.95 . If the sales tax was 7${\%}$,

what was the total cost of Jaleesa's purchases?

Explanation -;

In this question we are provided with the cost of each textbook and notebook and it is given that Jaleesa bought 2 notebook and 1 textbook and the sale tax was.7% and we are asked to calculate the total cost of Jaleesa's purchases

First we will calculate the cost of two notebooks

Rate of 1 notebook = $8.75

Cost of 2 notebook = $(8.75 × 2) = $17.5

Now, we will calculate the total cost

Total cost of 2 notebook and 1 textbook = $(17.5 + 74.95) = $92.45

Sales tax was 7%

7% of $92.45

→ $\dfrac{7}{100}$ × 93.45

→ $6.47

Total cost = $(92.45 + 6.47) = $98.92.
