Answer 1

1. The total bill including sales tax is $34.72.

2. The amount the purchaser should pay the cashier is $34.72.

3. The denominations for the payment should be one $20 bill, one $10 bill, four $1 bills, and 72 cents (pennies).

How is the total cost determined?

The total cost payable to the grocery store cashier is the cost of the groceries plus the sales tax.

The cost for groceries = $32.75

Sales tax = 6%

Total cost = cost plus sales tax

= $34.72 ($32.75 x 1.06)

We can check the sum as follows:

Unit  Bill  Amount

1      $20    $20

1      $10       10

4       $1        4

Cents           0.72

Total        $34.72

Thus, the grocery purchaser will be spending $34.72, including the sales tax.
