Step-by-step explanation: We first calculate the price of the dress that was on sale. 30% of 35 is 35/10 x3. This is equal to 3.5x3 which is 7+3.5 = 10.5 We subtract this from 35 to get $24.5. So, the dress cost $24.5. Next 1/2 of 17 is 8.5. In total, the items cost $24.5+$8.5 = $33. Then, there is a 4% sales tax we have to add on to 33. 1% of 33 is 33/100 which is 0.33. This time 4 is 1.32. 33+1.32 is 34.32.
I answered on paper hope that is alright with you. I just find it easier for math problems. That slash means two numbers cancel each other out. What's in the box is the answer and the proof that it's right is underneath.
