Marta went to the local discount store to stock up on school supplies. She bought four spiral notebooks at $1.50 each, a package of pens for $3.95, three felt tip markers at $.99 each, and a three-ring binder for $5.00. The sales tax is 6.5%. What was the total price Marta paid at the checkout counter? 

Verified Answer :

$17.92 is the total before tax. The tax price was $1.16. After tax the total is $19.08

Answer: She would pay $27.92 at the check out counter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of spiral notebooks = 4

Cost of each spiral notebooks = $1.50

So, total cost would be \(1.50\times 4=\$6\)

Number of package of pens = 1

Cost of each package of pens = $3.95

So, Total cost would be @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

Number of felt tip markers = 3

Cost of each marker = $0.99

So, total cost would be \(3\times 0.99=\$2.97\)

Number of ring binder = 3

Cost of ring binder = $5.00

So, total cost would be @@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

So, total price that she paid at the checkout counter would be

@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

Hence, she would pay $27.92 at the check out counter.
