The answer is c) $ 49.75

Answer:

D.) $54.23

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total of all the items and then add the sales tax. so Magazines first.

7.95 x 3 = 23.85

Books.

12.95 x 2 = 25.9

add the cost.

23.85 + 25.9 = 49.75

Now, multiply it by 0.09 (9%) to find how much (9%) of 49.75 is, [tax cost] then add it to the total.

49.75 x 0.09 = 4.4775 [about 4.48]

add tax to total

4.4775 + 49.75 = 54.2275

Round

$54.23
