At Target you found two sweaters that each cost $20.94, a pair of jeans that cost $17.83, and three pairs of shoes for $24.32 each. After 6.5% sales tax what is the total cost of the bill?

Answer 1

Given:-

Cost of sweaters is $20.94

Cost of pair of jeans is $17.83

Cost of three pair of shoes is $24.32

To find:-

The total cost of the bill with 6.5% sales tax.

Cost of two sweater is,

`2*20.94=41.88`

Cost of one pair of jeans is,

`1*17.83=17.83`

Cost of three pairs of shoes is,

`3*24.32=72.96`

To find the total cost we need to add all the three cost. so we get,

`41.88+17.83+72.96=132.67`

Now we find the 6.5% of 132.67. we get,

`(6.5)/(100)*168=10.941`

Now we add,
