1. You go shopping with a friend and end up buying a shirt for $23.90, a pair of pants for $34.50 and some socks for $3.65. If sales tax is 7.5%, what is your total sales tax amount for all three items?

Can you help me with that?

You can figure the tax on each item if you like:

23.90 * 0.075 + 34.50 * 0.075 3.65 * 0.075

or, using the distributive property, find the total price and then the total tax
(23.90 + 34.50 + 3.65) * 0.75

Of course! To calculate the total sales tax amount for all three items, you need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total cost of the items:
- Shirt: $23.90
- Pants: $34.50
- Socks: $3.65
Add up the prices of all three items: $23.90 + $34.50 + $3.65 = $62.05

2. Calculate the sales tax amount:
Multiply the total cost by the sales tax rate of 7.5% (which can be expressed as 0.075).
$62.05 x 0.075 = $4.65

Therefore, the total sales tax amount for all three items is $4.65.
