Final answer:

To find the total price of both DVDs plus tax, add the prices of the DVDs and then multiply by the sales tax rate. Finally, add the sales tax to the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total price of both DVDs plus tax, first find the sum of the prices of the DVDs: $24.99 + $19.99 = $44.98.

Next, calculate the sales tax by multiplying the total price by the sales tax rate: $44.98 × 0.0675 = $3.04 (rounded to the nearest cent).

Finally, add the sales tax to the total price to get the final total: $44.98 + $3.04 = $48.02.

DVD's tax
6.75/100 x $24.00 = $1.62
$24.00+$1.62= $25.62

6.75/100 x $19.99
=$1.34932525

$1.349325+$19.99
=$21.339325$25.2

Total price for both DVDs + Tax $21.339325+ $25.62
=$46.959325
