Hey there!
The 3 games cost $14.99 each, so multiply to find the cost of the three combined without the tax (the subtotal).
14.99 × 3 = 44.97
To find the amount of tax she will have to pay, we must find 7% of 44.97, the price without the tax added to it (the subtotal).
100% = 1.0
7% = 0.07
Multiply 44.97 by 0.07 for the amount of tax.
44.97 × 0.07 = 3.1479
Add the tax to the cost of the games without tax (subtotal).
44.97 + 3.1479 = 48.1179
Round the amount to the nearest cent. The thousandths place is 7, so it gets rounded up.
The total she has to pay for the games is $48.12.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Mona will save a total of $7 by going to Carpet World.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total area of the floor by multiplying the width by the length...
5m * 8m = 40m
Now we calculate the amount that it would cost to buy the carpet from each of the establishments. For the first establishment, we can buy 16
and get the next 8 half off and that would leave another 16 at full price. The second establishment we have a 5% off (0.95 of official price) for every 8, since out total area is 5 times this amount then our total will have a 5% off.
Establishment 1: (16 * 2.20) + (8 * 1.10) + (16 * 2.20) = $79.20
Establishment 2: (40 * 1.90) * 0.95 = $72.20
Difference: 79.20 - 72.20 = $7
Mona will save a total of $7 by going to Carpet World.
