Question

Alim buys 2 t-shirts for $9.50 each, a 3-pack of socks for $7.95, and a pair of shoes for $7.95 and a pair of shoes for $49.95. The sales tax is 6%. to the nearest cent, what is the total cost of Alim's purchases? Helpp

Answer 1

First, I add all of my prices together.
$9.50(2)+$7.95+$7.95+$49.95= $84.85
Change 6% to a decimal = .06
Then multiply: 84.85 x .06 =  $5.09
$5.09 is the sales tax
$84.85 + $5.09 = $89.94

Answer: $89.94
I hope this helps :)
