Homer and Bart plan to buy one computer for 499.00 strictly for gaming purposes. Games cost $49.99 each.
If they purchase one computer and five games, how much do they spend before sales tax? Show your work below.
The cost of one computer is $499.00.
The cost of each game is $49.99.
They plan to buy 5 games.
Therefore, the total cost of the 5 games is 5 * $49.99 = $249.95.
Adding the cost of the computer and the cost of the games, they would spend $499.00 + $249.95 = $748.95 before sales tax.
To find the total cost of purchasing one computer and five games, we need to calculate the cost of the computer and the cost of the games separately.
Cost of the computer: $499.00
Cost of each game: $49.99
Number of games: 5
Now, let's calculate the cost of the games:
Cost of 5 games = 5 * ($49.99)
= $249.95
Finally, let's find the total cost:
Total cost = Cost of the computer + Cost of the games
= $499.00 + $249.95
= $748.95
Therefore, they spend $748.95 before sales tax.
