4 x 2.29 is not 9.00
my bad it should have been 4bottles x 2.25
To verify if the calculations are correct, let's break down the calculations step by step:
1. Calculate the cost for each item:
- 4 bottles of alcohol: 4 * $2.29 = $9.16
- 3 thermometers: 3 * $1.95 = $5.85
- 6 boxes of cotton: 6 * $0.29 = $1.74
- 6 bottles of mouthwash: 6 * $0.89 = $5.34
- 11 cartons of cotton swabs: 11 * $0.39 = $4.29
- 3 hypo needles: 3 * $0.39 = $1.17
2. Calculate the subtotal by summing all the costs:
$9.16 + $5.85 + $1.74 + $5.34 + $4.29 + $1.17 = $27.55
3. Apply the 3% discount to the subtotal:
$27.55 - (3/100) * $27.55 = $26.78
4. Add the 6% sales tax to the discounted subtotal:
$26.78 + (6/100) * $26.78 = $28.37
Based on the calculations, the correct total amount with the discount and sales tax should be $28.37, not $28.16 as shown on the invoice.
