Question

Rick bought 3 shirts for $18 each, 2 pair of socks for $3.99 a pair, and a pair of slacks, for $45.00. The sales tax is 8.5%. How much did he pay?

Answer 1

Price of 3 shirts=$18*3=$54
Price of 2 pair of socks=2*$3.99=$7.98
Price of a pair of slack=$45
Total amount- $54+$7.98+ $45-$106.98
Sales tax rate = 8.5%
8.5% of total amount-8.5% of $106.98=
(8.5/100)*106.98-9.0933
Total amount Rick paid=$106.98+9.0933=$116.0733
