Question

Noami visited the fabric store and purchased two yards of 45'' flat fold material at $2.29 yd. She then bought two more yards of 60'' 100$ cotton broadcloth at $5.89 yd. What was her

total bill, including a 5% sales tax?

Answer 1

Total bill = $17.18

Explanation:

Niomi purchased 2 yards of 45" flat fold material at $2.29/yd.

Cost of 2 yard of 45" flat fold material = 2.29 × 2

= $4.58

Shen then bought 2 more yards of 60" 100% cotton broadcloth at $5.89.

Cost of 2 more yards material = 5.89 × 2

=$11.78

Total cost of 4 yards cloth material with sales tax

= (4.58 + 11.78) + 5% of (4.58 + 11.78)

= $16.36 + (5% of $16.36)

= 16.36 + (0.05 × 16.36)

= 16.36 + 0.818

= $17.178

= $17.18
