Answer:

14.38

Step-by-step explanation:

1. multiply the 5 packs of pencils times 0.79 each (5x0.79 = 3.95)

2. multiply the 8 packs of pens times 1.19 each (8x1.19=9.52)

3. add the total of pens and pencils together (3.95+9.52=13.44)

4. multiply 13.44 times 7% sales tax (13.44x.07=0.94)

5. add the total plus the sales tax (13.44+0.94=14.38
