Answer 1

Answer:

a. $5.43

b. $141.25

c. $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the total amount you it cost for all the items

$135.82 + 4% = $141.25

You give three $50 dollar bills

50 * 3 = 150

$150 is the amount you give

--------------------------------------

141.25 - 135.82 = 5.43

$5.43 is the amount of the sale price

---------------------------------------

To find the amount is cost for all the items you add the sales tax + the original price

$135.82 + 4% = $141.25

$141.25 is the amount including the tax

---------------------------------------

Subtract

150 - 141.25 = 8.75

So you will get $8.75 back
