Question

Brian bought two shirts for $14.50 each and a pair for shoes for $29.99.the sales tax was 6%.how much did Brian spend?

Answer 1

Brian spent 62.5294 $.

Explanation:

The cost of two shirts =
`2* \:14.5=29` $

The cost of 1 pair of shoes =
`1* 29.99\:` =
`29.99` $

• Adding the calculated costs =
  `29+29.99=58.99` $

Tax calculation:

• 
  `(6)/(100)* \:58.99=3.5394` $

Now, adding calculated costs and tax calculation:

58.99$ + 3.5394$ = 62.5294 $

Therefore, Brian spent 62.5294 $.
