Answer 1

To calculate the total price Bryce charges to his credit card, add the cost of the items and the sales tax, and then add the nontaxable shipping cost. The total price is $27.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total price Bryce charges to his credit card, we need to add the cost of the items and the sales tax, and then add the nontaxable shipping cost. Given that the sales tax is 6 percent, we can calculate the sales tax by multiplying the total cost of the items by 0.06. Then, we add the sales tax to the total cost of the items and the nontaxable shipping cost to get the total price charged to Bryce's credit card.

Let's consider the cost of the items Bryce orders. The total cost of the items is $20.98 ($8.99 + $11.99).

To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the total cost of the items by 0.06: $20.98 * 0.06 = $1.2592. Rounded to the nearest cent, the sales tax is $1.26.

Adding the sales tax and the nontaxable shipping cost of $5, we get: $20.98 + $1.26 + $5 = $27.24. So, the total price Bryce charges to his credit card is $27.24. Therefore, none of the given options are correct.
