Which should be calculated first to solve this problem? Zoila's father gave her $30 to spend at the souvenir shop. Zoila already had $10 saved from babysitting. Zoila bought 5 magnets for $2.99 each and a mug for $5.99. Zoila had to pay 7% tax on her purchases. How much did Zoila spend? A. the cost of one magnet and one mug B. the amount of tax paid C. the cost of 5 magnets D. the cost of 5 mugs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zoila had $40 to spend.

OpenStudy (aliyahrenee):

The answer is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 magnets 2.99 each = 5 x 2.99 = 14.95 And a mug 5.99, so 14.95 + 5.99 = 20.94. AND it includes 7% of tax: $22.41 This is how much she spent. 40 - 22.41 = 17.59.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

She has 17.59 left to spend.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is she has $17.59 i think

OpenStudy (gorv):

total=40 purchase=2.99*5+5.99=14.95+5.99=20.94 tax=20.94*7/100=146.58/100=1.46 paid=20.94+1.46=22.40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I got 22.40, but there aren't any answers near that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is probably the closest.

OpenStudy (aliyahrenee):

She doesn't buy 5 mugs she buys 5 magnets.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ALiyahrenee It's asking how much did she spend, not what she bought.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah d definetly i checked
