Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost of purchase of Matt and Natalie are $29.41

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of clothing without tax = $27.75

Tax percentage = 6%

Amount of tax on clothing =

$=6\%\times 27.75\\\\=\dfrac{6}{100}\times 27.75 \\\\=1.665\approx \ 1.66$

Total cost of purchase =

=Total bill without  tax + Amount of tax

$=27.75+1.66\\=\ 29.41$

Thus, the total cost of purchase of Matt and Natalie are $29.41
