Answer 1

To find the total cost of Roland's purchases, you will add $382 plus $12 plus $16.14 together to find the total spent.

$410.14.

Next will be to calculate the new price based on the sales tax rate. To do this you will multiply the cost by 1.0825. This includes everything you paid and the sales tax

410.14 x 1.0825 = $443.98

Roland's total price was $443.98.
