Given :
Mr. Sanchez bought 2 magazines for $9.95 each and 1 book for $14.95.
Sale tax is 6%.
To Find :
The total cost of Mr. Sanchez's purchase.
Solution :
The cost of 2 magazines for $9.95 each = 9.95 × 2
= $19.90
The cost of another book = $14.95
Total cost of books = $19.90 + 14.95
= $34.85
Sale tax on purchase = 6% of $34.85
= 0.06 × 34.85
= $2.09
Total cost of purchase = $34.85 + 2.09 = $36.94
The total cost of Mr. Sanchez's purchases is $36.94.
