Answer 1

Answer:

you cash back would be 16.42

Step-by-step explanation:

$485.72(\frac{2}{100} )+671.28(\frac{1}{100} )\\\\=16.42$

Answer 2

Answer:

$16.43.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the grocery store, you spent $485.72. With 2% cashback, you would get 485.72 * 0.02 = 9.7144 dollars worth of cashback.

At other places, you spend $671.28. With 1% cashback, you would get 671.28 * 0.01 = 6.7128 dollars worth of cashback.

9.7144 + 6.7128 = 16.4272, which is about $16.43 of cashback.

Hope this helps!
