Marta went to the local discount store to stock up on school supplies. She bought four spiral notebooks at $1.50 each, a package of pens for $3.95, three felt tip markers at $.99 each, and a three-ring binder for $5.00. The sales tax is 6.5%. What was the total price Marta paid at the checkout counter?

Answer: 18.7598

Explanation:

4 x 1.50= 6

6+ 3.95=9.95

3x 0.99= 2.97

2.97 + 9.95= 12.92

12.92+ 5= 17.92

6.5% of 12.92= 0.8398

6.5% of 12.92 + 17.92= 18.7598.
