Question

Joseph and Tyler went to the hobby store. They each bought a race car for $15.99. Joseph bought a blue race car for $2.99 and Tyler bought a red race car for $3.99. The hobby store charges 8.9% tax. How much did they spend altogether plus tax?

Answer 1

$15.99x2 +2.99+3.99= subtotal

subtotal x .089= Tax due

tax due + subtotal = total spent
38.96*.089= 3.46

3.46 +38.96= 42.42744

so altogether with tax, Joseph and Tyler spent $42.43 at the hobby store
