For a party, Sue bought plastic plates for $3.65, cups for $4.25, three boxes of plastic tableware for $0.99 each, and a plastic tablecloth for $6.75. Sales tax is 5.5%. What is the total cost for Sue’s purchases, including tax?

Verified Answer :

Add all of the costs up and don't forget to multiply the .99 cent item by 3. This equals $17.62. Then multiply this by 1.055. This will add the 5.5% sales tax to your total and come up with $18.59

Answer:

The total cost Sue paid is $18.59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sue bought plastic plates for $3.65, cups for $4.25.

Three boxes of plastic tableware for $0.99 each means total cost for three boxes = \(0.99\times3=2.97\) dollars

A plastic tablecloth for $6.75.

Total cost of all items = @@MATH_TOKEN_1@@ dollars

Now on this amount 5.5% sales tax is also paid.

Total amount now becomes:

Hence, the total cost Sue paid is $18.59.
