Answer 1

Mr.Smith paid $29.4.

Explanation:

Mr.Smith paid $24.5 plus additional 20% of $24.5, and to figure out the total amount that he paid, we need to know what is 20% of $24.50.

20% of $24.50 is:

`(20)/(100)*24.5=0.2*24.6=4.9`.

Mr.Smith paid additional $4.9; therefore, the total amount he paid was

$24.5 + $4.9 = $29.4.

Mr. smith paid $29.4.
