Answer 1

The answer would be $62.76

Answer 2

We will pay $66.2208 in total for the pants.

Explanation:

Original cost of a pant = $24.99

Cost of first pair of a pant = $24.99

Cost of second pair of a pant =
`(\$24.99)/(2)=\$12.495`

Cost of third pair of a pant = $24.99

Total cost of 3 pants: $24.99 + $12.495 + $24.99= $62.475

Sales tax applied = 6% of total cost

`(6)/(100)* \$62.475=\$3.7485`

Amount paid by us in total = $62.475 + $3.7485 = $66.2208

We will pay $66.2208 in total for the pants.
