A.$5.79
B.$5.82
C.$2.02
D.$6.08

Answer 1

D. $6.08

Explanation:

lice paid $6.08 for the cloth. 1.93 x 3 = 5.79 5.79 x .05 = 0.2895 5.79 + 0.2895 = 6.0795 so you round to nearest which is 6.08

Answer 2

D.$6.08

3 (yards of cloths) X $1.93(cost of yard of cloth) = $5.79
$5.79 X .05(tax rate)=.2895(tax)
$5.79 + .2895(tax)= 6.0795
$6.08 (rounded total cost)
