Question

Hannah bought 3 magazines for $2.50 each, $17.40 worth of food, and $4.40 worth of cleaning supplies. The state tax rate is 6.5% on non-food items. What is Hannah’s total bill?

Answer 1

The bill is 30.07

Explanation:

First find the total of the non-food items

3 *25.0 for the magazines = 7.50 plus 4.40 for the cleaning supplies

11.90

Multiply this by 6.50% to find the tax

11.90*.065 =.77

Add the tax to the total of the non food items

11.90+.77=12.67

Now add the food items

12.67+17.40

30.07

The bill is 30.07
