Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Terry bought 2 shirts for $14 each.
That is $28 on shirts
2 pair of socks for $2.99
That is $5.98 on socks
A pair of slacks for $25
The sales tax rate is 6.5% or 6.5/100 or 0.065
We want to know how much he paid.
Adding all the items he bought together, we have:
$28 + $5.98 + $25
= $58.98
Next, we apply the sales tax rate.
Take 6.5% of $58.98
This is: $58.98 * 0.065
= $3.83
Finally, add the sales tax with the amount we got
$58.98 + $3.83
= $62.81
He paid $62.81 in total
