Answer 1

I think the answer is $67.20

Answer 2

Given Number of shirts bought by Jamal in Massachusetts =4.The question is asking us to find the money spent by Jamal after paying sales tax at the rate of 5% when cost of each shirt is $16.

Cost of 1 shirt= $16

Cost of 4 shirts = 4x16=$64.

Sales tax on the shirts = 5% =0.05(in decimal form)

Sales tax on 4 shirts costing $64= 0.05x64= $3.2

Cost of shirt including sales tax= 64+3.2=67.2

Jamal spend $67.2 on purchasing the shirts.
