Answer 1

The total charge for the mulch bought from the nursery is $33.33. Please check the explanation below to help you remember the steps.

Explanation:

First, calculate the cost of the mulch and delivery: $16 (for the mulch) + $15 (for delivery) = $31.

Next, calculate the tax: $31 * 7.5% = $2.33.

Finally, add the tax to the initial cost: $31 + $2.33 = $33.33.

So, the total charge for the mulch bought from the nursery is $33.33.
