Question

Mary bought a pair of jeans and a sweater. The pair of jeans cost $30 and the sweater cost $35. If sales tax is 6%, how much did Mary spend for the jeans and sweater?

Answer 1

4 dollars or 3.9 depending if she bought them seperatly or together

Explanation:

Let's say she bought them together, So then add 30 and 35 which is 65 then take 65 times 0.06 which is 3.9 dollars. Or with maths:

`30+35 = 65`
`65* 0.6 = 3.9`

Or if she bought them seperatly then take 6 procent of 30 then 6 procent of 35 and them add them togheter.

`30*0.06 =1.8`
`35*0.06 = 2.1`

`2.1 + 1.8 = 4`

Hope this helps
