Question

what is the total cost of a pair of shoes for 78.95 in two sweaters at 36.99 each with a 7% sales tax

Answer 1

Hello!

The Question asked is simpler then you may expect! All you need to do is multiply the two numbers by 1.07 to find the answer which is,

$84.48 and $39.58

if the question is asking for them to be combined it would be $124.06.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

So 78.95
36.99
+36.99
152.93

then 152.93
× .07
10.71

and then 152.93
+10.71
163.64

so the answer is probably 163.64 but you might want to check my math
