Question

Answer 1

365.6

Explanation:

Number of radios = 2

Cost of each radio = 59.99

Cost of 2 radios =
`2(59.99)=119.98`

Number of protectors = 2

Cost of each protector = 19.99

Cost of 2 protectors =
`2(19.99)=39.98`

Cost of a wireless printer = 79.98

Number of ink carts = 3

Cost of each ink cart = 34.99

Cost of 3 ink carts =
`34.99(3)=104.97`

Total cost (excluding sales tax) =
`119.98+39.98+79.98+104.97=344.91`

Sales tax =
`(6)/(100)(344.91)=20.69`

So,

Total cost (including sales tax) = 344.91 + 20.69 = 365.6
