Enter your answer in the box.

$

Answer 1

Your answer would be $1.29

Answer 2

First: Subtract your sales tax to figure out the total spent on ice cream bars alone.

16.72 - 1.24 = 15.48

Second: Divide your total cost of ice cream bars (15.48) by the number of ice cream bars bought (12).

15.48/12 = $1.29 per ice cream bar
