Rick bought 3 shirts for $18 each, 2 pair of socks for $3.99 a pair, and a pair of slacks for $45.00. The sales tax rate is 8.5%. How much did he pay? and how did you find it?

Explanation:

shirts=3×18=$54

socks=$3.99

slacks=$45 =total sale =$102.99

sales tax=8.5%÷100=0.085

=0.085×102.99=8.754

total=8.754+102.99

111.744
