PLS I NEED HELP

Answer 1

well, both telephones cost 48.67 * 2 = 97.34, now let's get the tax and add it to it

`\begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{7.11\% of 97.34}}{\left( \cfrac{7.11}{100} \right)97.34} ~~ \approx ~~ 6.92~\hfill \underset{total~price}{\stackrel{97.34~~ + ~~6.92}{\approx \text{\LARGE 104.26}}}`
