Ashton had $60 to take shopping with her address for $16 and 50 Cent a pair of shoes for $12.25 and three headbands for $2.25 each she pay the 6% Sales tax on all of the items you bought how much money did Ashton have left? Please ASAP

Answer 1

Ashton had $22.90 left.

Explanation:

Since Ashton spent $ 16 on the first product, $ 12.25 on the pair of shoes, and $ 2.25 on each of the 3 headbands, the total cost of the products purchased is $ 35 (2.25 x 3 + 16 + 12.25).

Now, to this amount a sales tax of 6% must be added, that is, the final amount paid by Ashton is $ 37.10 (35 x 1.06).

Therefore, since Ashton's starting amount was $ 60, the amount left over after the purchase is $ 22.90 (60 - 37.1).
