What do you need help on?
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
Zoila had $40 to spend.
The answer is A.
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.
She has 17.59 left to spend.
the answer is she has $17.59 i think
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
Yeah, I got 22.40, but there aren't any answers near that...
D is probably the closest.
She doesn't buy 5 mugs she buys 5 magnets.
@ALiyahrenee It's asking how much did she spend, not what she bought.
yah d definetly i checked
