Answer 1

Isn't 46.80????

Answer 2

Multiply $30 by .25 you get, it's $7.50so you subtract $7.50 from $30 and you get $22.50. Then multiply 2 (sweaters) by $22.50 and you get $45,but wait you still have to multiply that sales tax so you multiply .04 by $45 and you get $1.80, later you subtract $1.80 from $45 and you get $43.20(the cost of the two sweaters) I did part1 only cuz' no I have no time left Sorry for the inconvenience
