Question

anna kline purchased six bushes for $19.27 each, a porch swing for $88.22, and a gas grill for $321.77. she must pay the state tax of 4.5% and the city tax of 2%. What is the total purchase price

Answer 1

We can convert the language to an algebraic expression:

(6*19.27 + 88.22 + 321.77)*(1+.045+.02)

(total cost of items, careful for 6 bushes, times relevant tax rates)

From here, just be careful with your PEMDAS algebra order of operations to solve.
