Tina bought two sweaters for $15.50 each and a skirt for $19. What
was the total amount of her bill if she had to pay a sales tax of
5.75%?
a. $36.40
b. $50
c. $52.88
d. $56.40
First, we need to find the total cost of the two sweaters and the skirt.
2 sweaters x $15.50/sweater = $31
$31 + $19 = $50
Next, we need to calculate the sales tax.
$50 x 0.0575 = $2.88
Finally, we add the sales tax to the total cost.
$50 + $2.88 = $52.88
Therefore, the answer is (c) $52.88.
