Question

Carl ordered 2 pants at $22.54 each and 2 shirts at $19.89 each. With sales tax of 6% and shipping below, what was his total order?

Answer 1

$98.90

22.54 x 2 = 45.08
19.89 x 2 = 39.78
45.08 + 39.78 = 84.86
84.86 x .06 = 5.0916
84.86 + 5.0916 = 89.9516
89.9516 + 8.95 = 98.9016

Answer 2

Total order cost = $98.90

Explanation:

Cost of 1 pair of pants = $22.54

Cost of 2 pairs of pants =
`2*22.54 = 45.08`

And

Cost of 1 shirt = $ 19.89

Cost of 2 shirts =
`2 * 19.89 = 39.78`

Now total cost of all 4 items = $45.08 + $39.78 = $84.86

Now 6% sales tax is to be added so

Total cost =
`84.86 + (0.06 * 84.86) = 89.9516`

= $89.9516

Now from the table we can see that $8.95 shipping charges are to be added.

So total order cost = $89.9516 + $8.95 = $98.9016

= $98.90
