Answer 1

If you add them all up it comes out to $339.94

Answer 2

Barbara paid total amount of $339.94 before taxes.

Explanation:

As tax amount or percentage is not give, we can assume that the sum of all the items is the total cost Barbara paid.

We will add up all the costs.

Entry fee = $18

And separate fee of $7.50 per week for 16 weeks, total amount is =
`7.50*16=$120`

Cost of bowling ball = $102

Cost of a bag = $39.95

Cost of glove = $11.00

Cost of a pair of shoes = $48.99.

Adding up all values =
`18+120+102+39.95+11+48.99`

=$339.94

Thus, we can say that Barbara paid a total amount of $339.94 before taxes.
