a) $84.86
b) $89.95
c) $98.90
d) $99.99

Answer 1

The total cost of pants and shirts is given by:
 2 * (22.54) + 2 * (19.89) = 84.86 $
 In addition to this, we have 6% taxes, therefore, the total cost is:
 (1.06) * (84.86) = 89.9516 $
 Then, we must add to this value shipping charges.
 Since the value is between 75.01 and 125, then:
 Shipping charges = $ 8.95
 Adding we have:
 89.9516 + 8.95 = $ 98.9016
 Answer:
 his total order was:
 c) $ 98.90
