Answer 1

Answer:

$18.105

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the cost of the two shirts, multiply that number by 0.065, then add that to the cost of the two shirts:

$8.50 + $8.50 = $17.00

$17.00 * 0.065 = $1.105

$17.00 + $1.105 = $18.11

Answer 2

Answer:

since each shirt cost $8.50

two shirt = 2 ×8.5

$17 sice there is 6.5% sale tax

his total payment will be $17+ 6.5% of each cloth = 0.5525

as we know it is 2 shirts so it will be 2× the sales tax

i.e 1.105

his total payment for the shirts will be$( 1.105 +17) =$ 18.105
