Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: C) $85.35

Explanation:

Tyrell spent $65.78 in two new jerseys (at $32.89 each) and $23.99 in a hat. His bill was $89.77 ($65.78 + $23.99). He can deduct $10 from his bill, so it is now $79.77. After the discount has been made, you must add the sales tax of 7% ($79.77 x 7% = $5.58). The total bill including sales tax is $85.35 ($79.77 + $5.58).
