Tai went to a shopping mall. He spent $25.75 on a shirt, $15.49 on a hat, and $9.95 on a poster, before tax. Tax was 8.25% on all purchases. What was the total cost of Tai’s purchases, including tax?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add 'em up to get the base cost. Multiply by .0825 to get the taxes. Cost + taxes. AWWW YEEEAAAH

so its going to be equal to 12.48 :D ?

Totally confused as to how you got 12.48.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added 25.75 +15.49+9.95 =51.19 so i did this wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the correct first step.
