Question

Cameron went to McEats and bought items costing $1.49, 93¢, $1.29, and 79¢. How much total did he spend, including sales tax at 8%?

Answer 1

The total would come out to $4.86

Answer 2

As a first step we have to find the total cost of all the items that Cameron purchased at the store.

The total cost of all the four items are: 1.49 + 0.93 + 1.29 + 0.79 = $4.50

This is the bill without any tax. We have been given that there is an 8% Sales tax on the bill amount

The amount of sales tax = 8% * 4.50 = 8/100 * 4.50 = 0.08*4.50 = $0.36

So the total amount he spent = $4.50 + $0.36 = $4.86
