Question

Veronica is shopping for school clothes. She wants to buy pants and shirts. The cost of her clothes can be found using the expressions 30x+ 25y where x is the number of pants and y is the number of shirts. She will also pay 8 tax. If Veronica buys eight shirts and two pairs of pants use the expression from question 4 to determine the total cost of the bill including 8% tax

Answer 1

$280.80

Explanation:

Given:

C = 30x+ 25y

Where,

C = total cost

x = number of pants

y = number of shirts.

If Veronica buys eight shirts and two pairs of pants

C = 30x + 25y

= 30(2) + 25(8)

= 60 + 200

= 260

C = $260

Sales tax rate = 8%

Amount of sales tax = 8% of $260

= 8/100 × 260

= 0.08 × 260

= $20.80

Total cost of the bill including 8% tax = $260 + $20.80

= $280.80
