Answer 4

both

Answer 5

u add the cost of every body and then multiply it by .06 which is $18.39

Answer 6

add them 9.50 + 7.25 + 6.95 + 6.95 = bill without tax
now take that total and multiply it by .06 (decimal form of 6%. That is your tax.
Now add your tax to the total you got from adding earlier and that is your total bill.

Answer 7

30.65 + .06 = 30.71 zrry my mistake

Answer 8

isnt it 7.45 not 6.95

Answer 9

it equal 31.15

Answer 10

so the one that said 6.95 thats wrong is 7.45

Answer 11

yes the answer is 37.15

Answer 12

31.21 is the answer

Answer 13

how u got 37.15

Answer 14

add all of them and then add the answer to 6%

Answer 15

add the answer to 0.06

Answer 16

yeah 6% is the same thing

Answer 17

no it not try it wit 6%

Answer 18

it gives u 37.15

Answer 19

9.50 + 7.25 + 6.95 + 6.95 + 7.45 = 38.10 (total without tax)
38.10 * .06 = 2.29 (tax)
38.10 + 2.29 = 40.39

Answer 20

$9.50
$7.25
$6.95
$6.95
+ $7.45
---------
$30.65

The total amount before tax is $38.10. This is 100% of the cost (before tax.)
Since tax is 6% of the total, the bill will be 100% + 6% = 106% of the before-tax
amount. That means you need to calculate 106% of $38.10.

106% of $38.10
= 1.06 * $38.10
= $40.386
= $40.39

Answer 21

edolivera...you do not add to .06....you multiply by .06, then add the tax to the total without tax

Answer 22

how did u get 30.65

Answer 23

I think that was a mistake...because when you add them up, you get 38.10

Answer 24

The amount of $30.65 is an error because that did not take into account the $7.45 of Diana's breakfast.

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

ohh

final answer is $ 40.39
