Alicia buys 4 scarves. She pays $75.20 plus an additional $5.26 in tax for the scarves

Total cost paid for 4 scarves = 75.20 + 5.26 = 80.46

to find cost of 1 scarve we divide the total cost by 4

$\frac{80.46}{4} =20.115= 20.12$

Alicia determines that each scarf cost $20.12

We got the same cost . So Alicia's calculation is correct.
