you sellect four packages of modeling clay and a set of tools for a craft project.If there is a 6% sales tax,how much money will you need to buy these supplies?
Clay:$2.79 each plus tax
Tools:$1.79 plus tax
2.79 * 4 = 11.16
11.16 + 1.79 = 12.95
12.06 * 1.06 = ?
12.95 * 1.06 = ?
14.20
To calculate the total amount of money you will need to buy the supplies, you need to calculate the cost of the clay and tools separately.
For the clay:
1. Calculate the cost of one package of clay by adding the price and tax: $2.79 + (6% of $2.79)
2. Multiply the cost of one package by the number of packages you want to buy: $2.79 x 4
For the tools:
1. Calculate the cost of the tools by adding the price and tax: $1.79 + (6% of $1.79)
Finally, add the cost of the clay and the cost of the tools together to get the total amount you will need to buy the supplies.
