Question

Marnie purchased a dining room table and 6 chairs for $1,860.00 before discount and taxes. Kristen purchased a queen bed, dresser, 2 night stands, and a chest of drawers for $5,775.00 before discount and taxes. The tax rate is 8.2%.

Answer 1

I am going to guess 8,261.07. I added the two numbers and multiplied it by the 8.2%. I got 626.07 and added that to the 7,635

Answer 2

Add your two totals together,
1860 + 5775 = 7635, next we multiply our answer by 1.082,
$8261.07 is the total cost.
