394+12.5+49.5+39+19.95=514.95, 25.7475+514.95=540.6975 12 lessons*20=240 Grand total is 780.6975

Answer 2

The total cost of his purchase and lessons = $780.6975

Explanation:

GIVEN :

Clubs cost $394

Balls cost $12.50

Shoes cost $49.50,

Golf shirt cost $39

Glove cost $19.95

Lessons cost $20.00 per lesson

Solution :

Total purchase = Clubs cost $394 + Balls cost $12.50+Shoes cost $49.50+Golf shirt cost $39+Glove cost $19.95

= $514.95

He paid 5% sales tax on his purchase

So, 5% of total purchase

= 5% of $514.95

So, tax = $25.7475

so total cost ( total purchase cost + tax) = $514.95+$25.7475

=$540.6975

Now , cost of each lesson is $20

Total no. of lessons are 12

So, cost of 12 lessons is 20 *12 = $240

Thus ,the total cost of his purchase and lessons = $540.6975+$240

=$780.6975
