Answer 2

Answer:

$36.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so. This is what we do. There is two magazines and they cost 9.95 each multiply 9.95 times 2

9.95 x 2 = 19.90

Okay, then he buys a book for 14.95 we add 19.9. and 14.95

19.90 + 14.95 = 34.85

Then we have a sales tax of 6% we would multiply 34.85 time 6%

34.85 x 6% = 2.09

Then we would add. 34.85 + 2.09

34.85 + 2.09 = 36.94

Therefore your answer is $36.94

Hope this helps!!!
