Since, both magazine are of same prize. The total she paid for both magazine will be 4.95 + 0.334 + 4.95 + 0.334 = $ 10.57.

Answer 2

$10.57

Explanation:

Ivan bought these two magazines = $4.95 + $4.95

Total price of two magazines = $9.90

The sale tax was 6.75% of 9.90

=
`(6.75)/(100)` × 9.90

= 0.0675 × 9.90

= 0.66825

Total price of two magazines with sales tax = 9.90 + 0.66825

= 10.56825 ≈ $10.57

The total amount was paid $10.57 for the magazines.
