For a party, Sue bought plastic plates for $3.65, cups for $4.25, three boxes of plastic tableware for $0.99 each, and a plastic tablecloth for $6.75. Sales tax is 5.5%. What is the total cost for Sue’s purchases, including tax?

Respuesta :

Add all of the costs up and don't forget to multiply the .99 cent item by 3. This equals $17.62. Then multiply this by 1.055. This will add the 5.5% sales tax to your total and come up with $18.59

Answer:

The total cost Sue paid is $18.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue bought plastic plates for $3.65, cups for $4.25.

Three boxes of plastic tableware for $0.99 each means total cost for three boxes = [tex]0.99\times3=2.97[/tex] dollars

A plastic tablecloth for $6.75.

Total cost of all items = [tex]3.65+4.25+2.97+6.75=17.62[/tex] dollars

Now on this amount 5.5% sales tax is also paid.

Total amount now becomes:

[tex]17.62+(0.055\times17.62)=18.59[/tex]

Hence, the total cost Sue paid is $18.59.
