Question

Vanessa made some purchases at Kroger. She bought two containers of blueberries for $3.25 each, three containers of strawberries for $2.50 each and one container of raspberries for $5.94. If sales tax is 3 ½%, how much will Vanessa pay for her items? Round to the nearest hundredth. Include your units

Answer 1

Add up all her items first
$3.25 + $2.50 + $5.94 = $11.69
Sale tax = 0.035
11.69 * 0.035 = 0.41
11.69 - 0.41 = $11.28
