.

Answer 1

C. $11.55

Explanation:

First, multiply 4 by $0.85 to get an answer of $3.40. Next, multiply 6 by $1.25 to get an answer of $7.50. Add up the cost of the pencils and pens by adding $3.40 and $7.50 to get $10.90. Next, we have to add the tax. Multiply $10.90 by 0.06 to get $.65. Add the $.65 to the $10.90 for a grand total of $11.55. Hope this helps!
