A.
$153.87
B.
$172.13
C.
$173.78

Answer 1

Answer:

5/100 = 0.056 sales tax

$12+$26+$125 = $163 total purchase without tax

163*0.056 = 9.128 tax based on how much she bought

$163 + 9.128 = $172.128 total amount she paid (b)

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you add all her purchases together then divide them by the percentage and add the 9.128 to the 163
