Answer 1

$461.15

Explanation:

Total amount of items:

Add all the prices together

399.99+24.99+5=429.98

Sales tax:

Convert 7.25% to a decimal

7.25/100=0.0725

Multiply the total by the decimal

429.98*0.0725=31.17355

Final cost:

Add the sales tax and total amount

429.98+31.17355=461.15355

Round to the nearest cent/hundreth

$461.15
