The correct answer is $170.4
Explanation:
The total Georgie spent is equal to the money spent on clothes ($160) added to taxes (6.5% of the price of the clothes). Now, to calculate the money spend on taxes follow this process:
1. Divide the total of money spent on clothes into 100 (this number represents 100%)
160 ÷ 100 = 1.6
2. Multiply this number by the specific percentage (6.5)
1.6 x 6.5 = $10.4 (This is the money spent on taxes)
Finally, add the value of taxes and the price of the clothes:
$160 + $10.4 = $170.4
