Question

He Hernández family is going to a swim meet. They bought 2 cases of water for $3.98 each, 3 bags of ice for $1.99 each, and a bag of oranges for $8.89. Before they leave, they filled up the car with 38.63 liters of gasoline at a cost of $0.655 per liter. What is the total cost for everything before tax?

Answer 1

Total cost of water, w =$ 3.98×2 = $7.96 .

Total cost of ice, i = $ 1.99×3 = $5.97 .

Total cost of orange, o = $8.89 .

Total cost of gasoline , g = $38.63×0.655 = $25.30 .

Now, total cost is the summation of every cost mention above :

T = $ ( 7.96 + 5.97 + 8.89 + 25.30 )

T = $48.12 .

Therefore, total cost for everything before tax is $48.12 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
