Mike is at the shop for school supplies. He sees some pencils he wants to buy. He sees that if he buys twelve of the same item, the store will take off $8. How much will twelve pencils cost at the store if one pencil is $5.99?
6.25 times 3 is 18.75 7.50 times 3 is 22.5 1.25 times 6 is 7.5 Add those and you get 48.75. 48.75 times .045 is 2.19 48.75 times .15 is 7.31. Add the tax and tip to the value, you get $58.25.
