Thanks. but how did you get that?
We can't tell without knowing the tax rate.
To find the possible amount Doug can spend on the purchase of the plywood, we need to consider the range of the cost per sheet and multiply it by the number of sheets he needs to buy. Let's calculate it together:
Minimum cost per sheet: $42
Maximum cost per sheet: $45
Number of sheets Doug needs to purchase: 4
To find the minimum possible amount Doug can spend, we multiply the minimum cost per sheet by the number of sheets:
Minimum amount = $42 x 4 = $168
To find the maximum possible amount Doug can spend, we multiply the maximum cost per sheet by the number of sheets:
Maximum amount = $45 x 4 = $180
Therefore, the possible amount that Doug can spend on the purchase of the plywood, including tax, is between $168 and $180.
