Answer:

$24.88

Explanation:

Given:

Samantha needs to purchase 7 notebooks at

$2.99 each and 5 pencils at $0.79 each.

To Find:

About how much will Samantha spend before sales tax?​

Solution:

All we have to do is multiply and then add.

Starting with NoteBook;

Since each notebook cost - $2.99

Then 7 Notebook..

7 × $2.99

= $20.93

Now with Pencil;

Since each pencil cost - $0.79

Then 5 Pencil..

5 × 0.79

= $3.95

As a result, we add both together

$20.93 + $3.95

=$24.88
