Answer: 180.36

Explanation:

I wasn’t sure if the questions was saying each ball was 29.99 or the total of the soccer balls was 29.99 without tax.

How I got the answer:

29.99 was the cost per soccer ball and he needed 6 of them and the tax was 7% which equal up to 0.07.

29.99 times 6 = 179.94

0.07 times 6 = 0.42 (the more you buy the more the tax raises)

179 + 0.42 = 180.36

The total is 180.38
