Answer 2

Answer: $67.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Add: $15.00+$15.00 : $30.00. Because she purchased two of them.

Then add the total to $32.00, which = $62.00.

Writing the proportion: 8.5/100  x/62.00

Multiply the sales tax by your total amount = 8.5*62.00=527.00

Then divide it by 100= 527.00/100= $5.27. <-- ( sales tax amount )

Add the sales tax to $62.00 = 67.27

Answer: $67.27
