Answer 1

Carl Cornfield's total cost before taxes for bowling is calculated by summing the entry fee, weekly fees, and equipment costs, which all add up to $335.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Carl Cornfield's total cost before taxes for taking up bowling, we need to add up his entry fee, weekly fees, and the cost of his equipment.

• Entry fee: $15.00
• Weekly fees for 16 weeks: 16 weeks x $8.00/week = $128.00
• Bowling ball: $94.00
• Bag: $49.95
• Glove: $10.00
• Shoes: $38.99

Next, we add all these amounts together to find the total cost before taxes:

$15.00 + $128.00 + $94.00 + $49.95 + $10.00 + $38.99 = $335.94.

Therefore, the answer is b. $335.94.
