item number cost
oxen 2 $80.00
food ( Ibs. ) 500 $100.00
clothing 5 $50.00
total = $230.00
total cost with tax = $243.80
Note: The cost of food is calculated by multiplying 500 (lbs. of food) with $0.20 (cost per lb.), which gives us $100. The tax on the total cost ($230) is calculated as 6% of $230, which is $13.80. Therefore, the total cost with tax is $243.80.
To calculate the total cost, including tax, for the items you need to purchase, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the cost of the items without tax:
- Oxen: $40 per oxen
Since you need at least 2 oxen, the cost would be 2 * $40 = $80
- Food: $0.20 per lb
You need 500 lbs of food, so the cost would be 500 * $0.20 = $100
- Clothing: $10 per set
You need at least 5 sets of clothing, so the cost would be 5 * $10 = $50
2. Calculate the total cost without tax:
Total Cost = Cost of Oxen + Cost of Food + Cost of Clothing
Total Cost = $80 + $100 + $50 = $230
3. Calculate the tax amount:
Tax = Total Cost * 6% (0.06 as a decimal)
Tax = $230 * 0.06 = $13.8
4. Calculate the total cost with tax:
Total Cost with Tax = Total Cost + Tax
Total Cost with Tax = $230 + $13.8 = $243.8
Therefore, the total cost with tax for purchasing at least 2 oxen, 500 lbs of food, and 5 sets of clothing would be $243.8.
To calculate the total cost, including tax, you need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the cost of oxen:
- You need to purchase at least 2 oxen.
- Each oxen costs $40.
- Multiply the number of oxen by the cost per oxen: 2 * $40 = $80.
2. Calculate the cost of food:
- You need 500 lbs of food.
- Each pound of food costs $0.20.
- Multiply the number of pounds of food by the cost per pound: 500 * $0.20 = $100.
3. Calculate the cost of clothing:
- You need at least 5 sets of clothing.
- Each set of clothing costs $10.
- Multiply the number of sets of clothing by the cost per set: 5 * $10 = $50.
4. Calculate the total cost:
- Add up the costs of oxen, food, and clothing: $80 + $100 + $50 = $230.
5. Calculate the total cost with tax:
- Matt charges 6% tax on the total cost.
- Multiply the total cost by 6% (or 0.06): $230 * 0.06 = $13.80.
- Add the tax to the total cost: $230 + $13.80 = $243.80.
Therefore, the total cost is $230 and the total cost with tax is $243.80.
