Answer:

The total cost of purchase of Matt and Natalie are $29.41

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of clothing without tax = $27.75

Tax percentage = 6%

Amount of tax on clothing =


=6\%* 27.75\\\\=(6)/(100)* 27.75 \\\\=1.665\approx \$1.66

Total cost of purchase =

=Total bill without tax + Amount of tax


=27.75+1.66\\=\$29.41

Thus, the total cost of purchase of Matt and Natalie are $29.41
