Answer: a. $10.27
b. $168.27
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Brandan found two pairs of shorts for $35 each and four shirts with an average price of $22 per shirt. The cost of the shirts and shorts will be:
= (2 × $35) + (4 × $22)
= $70 + $88
= $158
A. If he buys all of the items how much sales tax will he have to pay?
Sales tax = 6.5% × $158
Sales tax = 0.065 × $158
Sales tax = $10.27
B. What is the total cost of his purchase including sales tax?
This will be:
= $158 + $10.27
= $168.27
