Answer 2

(d) $36.69

Explanation:

The total cost of the order is the sum of the costs of the items and the tax on that subtotal.

__

The price after tax can be found using the multiplier (1 +tax rate) applied to the subtotal.

total cost = ($14.65 +8.49 +10.99)×(1 +0.075) = $34.13×1.075

total cost = $36.69
