Answer 1

B. $105.25

Explanation:

We know we have 2 shirts that cost $16 each, a pair of jeans for $40, and a skirt for $25.

((2 * 16) + 40 + 25) * 1.085

(32 + 65) * 1.085

97 * 1.085

97/1 * 217/200

21049/200

105.245, which rounds to $105.25.

The total purchase amount, including tax, is $105.25, which is B.

Answer 2

($87.89)
