Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Olivia is planning to adopt a puppy on National Dog Day (August 26). The adoption fee at the local shelter is $150 plus a 4% tax. On her way to pick up the puppy, she stops at a store to buy a food dish, dog food, a water dish and a bed for her new pup that cost (before tax) $5, $10, $5 and $12, respectively. If these purchases have a 5% sales tax added to them at check out, how much does Olivia spend in total (after tax) on the adoption fees and supplies combined?

• Given the adoption fee at the shelter is $ 150
• So tax will be 4% = 4 / 100 x 150 = 6
• So fee will be 150 + 6 = $ 156
• Now Olivia stops to buy some items at a store including tax will be
• $ 5 + $ 10 + $ 5  + $ 12 = $ 32
• So tax will be 5% = 5/100 x 32 = 1.6
• So fee will be 32 + 1.6 = $ 33.6
• Now the amount spent by Olivia will be $ 156 + $ 33.6 = $ 189.6
