Kyle bought himself a pair of shoes for 89.50 and he bought his nephew a pair for half the price of his shoes. If the sales tax
ycow [4]
Solution-

89.50/2 = 44.75

44.75 is the amount he spent to buy his nephew the pair of shoes.

Now, we are going to add the amount he spent for himself and his nephew together. 

89.50 + 44.75= 134.25

134.25 is the amount he spent in total, now we need to find the final amount with sales tax included.

We can do this by multiplying the total price by .075

134.25 * .075 = 10.07 (I rounded this to the nearest hundredths because we are dealing with money)

Now we need to add the two number together. 

134.25 + 10.07 = 144.32

Answer- 

The total amount Kyle spent is $144.32
