Question

Answer 1

Hi there!

cost=59.846

1.Add both cost:

`19.64+32.40= 52.04`

2.Multiply 15% by 0.01:

`15`·
`0.01=0.15`

3.Multiply cost by 0.15:

`52.04`·
`0.15= 7.806`

4.Combine the two terms:

`52.04+7.806= 59.846`

Therefore, the total cost was 59.846$.

Answer 2

The total cost is $59.85

(rounded up from 59.846 since this problem is about money)
