Question

Blaine bought 4 pairs of pants and 2 shirts at a department store in California. Each pair of pants cost $25.85 and each shirt cost $15.70. Blaine was also charged an additional 6% state sales tax on the total purchase amount. How much change did Blaine receive from $200?

Answer 1

Answer:

$57.11

Explanation:

$25.85 × 4 = $103.40

$15.70 × 2 = $31.40

Total cost of purchase = $134.80

6% tax = 0.06 × $134.80 = $8.09

Total cost of purchase including tax = $142.89

Change received by Blaine = $200 - $142.89 = $57.11

I hope my answer helps you
