Question

In June, Susie buys a dozen of cans of Dog's Dinner dog food at $1.89 per can. She also buys two bags of 'Dem Bones dental chews that each cost $12.69, and a new toy for $10.25. She pays sales tax at a rate of 7.25%. What is her total cost for the month of June?

Answer 1

$62.54

Explanation:

12 cans dog food = 12 × 1.89 = $22.68

2 bags dental chews = 2 × 12.69 = 25.38

1 toy = 10.25

Subtotal = 58.31

Sales tax = 0.0725 × 58.31 = 4.23

TOTAL = $62.54

Suzie's total cost for June was $62.54.
