425+49.50+12.50+37+19.95= $543.95

543.95x0.05= $27.20 total= $571.15

12 lessons x $20= $240

grand total of $ 811.15

Answer:

The total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons is $811.15 .

Option (A) is correct .

Explanation:

As given

Johnny Barber took golf lessons.

Johnny Barber clubs cost $425, balls cost $12.50, shoes cost $49.50, his golf shirt was $37, and his glove was on sale for $19.95.

Total purchase cost = Johnny clubs cost + Balls cost + Shoes cost + Golf shirt cost + Glove cost

Put all the values in the above

Total purchase cost = 425 + 12.50 + 49.50 + 37 + 19.95

= $ 543.95

As given

Johnny Barber paid 5% sales tax on his purchase.

5% is written in the decimal form

= 0.05

Thus

Sales tax = 0.05 × Total purchase cost

= 0.05 × 543.95

= $ 27.1975

As given

Johnny Barber lessons cost $20.00 per lesson for 12 lessons.

Total cost of the lesson = 12 × Cost per lesson

= 12 × 20

= $ 240

Thus

Total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons = Total purchase cost + Sales tax + Total cost of the lessons

Put all the values in the above

Total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons = $ 543.95 + $ 27.1975 + $ 240

Total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons = $ 811.1475

Total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons = $ 811.15 (Approx)

Therefore the total cost of the Johnny Barber purchase and lessons is $811.15 .

Option (A) is correct .
