alfredo that costs $7.17 before tax. If the sales tax is 5
percent, explain how to find the total cost for their dinner.

Answer 1

cost=rs.4.189+rs.7.5285=11.7

Answer 2

For dinner, Abelita chooses the Italian salad that costs $3.99 before tax, and Franco chooses the fettuccini alfredo that costs $7.17 before tax. [ If the sales tax is 5 percent, you add the 5 percent task to the cost of what Alberto and Franco bought then add the two together. See the solution below:

SOLUTION:

For Abelita : 5% of $3.99 = 0.1995 Cost after sale = 0.1995 + 3.99 = $4.189 For Franco: 5% of $7.17 = 0.3585 Cost after sale = 0.3585 + 7.17 = $7.5285 Total cost = $4.189 + $7.5285 = $11.7]
