Answer 1

87. Juanita started with 40 dollars in her pocket. Then she bought one CD for 7.99 dollars and 1 DVD for 8.99 dollars. It has a sales tax of 7% on these items. Plus she bought a lunch for 4.25 dollars including tax Solve: => 7.99 dollars + 8.99 dollars = 16.98 dollars => 16.98 dollars * .07 = 1.2 dollars => 16.98 + 1.2 = 18.18 dollars Plus the lunch => 18.18 + 4.25 = 22.43 dollars => 40 – 22.43 = 17.57 dollars
