(45.99 + 15.99 + 32.99) * 0.75 * 1.065 = ?
To find the total amount that Annie paid for the items, including sales tax, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the discounted price of each item by subtracting the 25% discount from the regular price:
- Dress: $45.99 - (25% of $45.99) = $45.99 - ($45.99 * 0.25) = $45.99 - $11.50 = $34.49
- Shirt: $15.99 - (25% of $15.99) = $15.99 - ($15.99 * 0.25) = $15.99 - $4.00 = $11.99
- Shoes: $32.99 - (25% of $32.99) = $32.99 - ($32.99 * 0.25) = $32.99 - $8.25 = $24.74
2. Add up the discounted prices of all the items:
$34.49 (dress) + $11.99 (shirt) + $24.74 (shoes) = $71.22
3. Calculate the sales tax by multiplying the total discounted price by the sales tax rate (6.5% or 0.065):
$71.22 * 0.065 = $4.63 (rounded to two decimal places)
4. Add the sales tax to the total discounted price to find the total amount paid by Annie:
$71.22 + $4.63 = $75.85
Therefore, Annie paid a total of $75.85 for these items, including sales tax.
