Answer 1

Given :

A sixth-grade student bought three cans of tennis balls for $4 each.

The sales tax for each can was $0.95.

To Find :

The total amount the student spent.

Solution :

Price of each can including taxes :

p = $( 4 + 0.95 )

p = $4.95

So, price of 3 such cans including tax is :

P = p×3

P = $( 4.95×3 )

P = $14.85

Therefore, total amount spend by the student is $14.85 .
