So, it's just an annoying problem. Keep the tax rates in mind for each thing.
$70 of souvenirs mean the tax is 5% since it is not prepared food, lodging, or auto rentals.
$580 on prepared food means that has 7% tax because it is special.
$620 on the car has a 10% tax, as stated in the problem.
So do 70(1.05)+580(1.07)+620(1.1) to get $1376.1.0

For anyone with the “TRICIA” problem:  $1202.30
