Sales tax in your community is 5. 25 cents for each dollar spent. What is the total cost at the movies for three tickets at

$8. 50, three bags of popcorn for $1. 25 each, and two soft drinks for $1. 50 each?

3(8. 50 +1. 25 +1. 50) +5. 25 = 38. 90

1. 0525{3(8. 50 +1. 25 +1. 50)} = 35. 52

1. 0525{3(8. 50 +1. 25) +2(1. 50)} = 33. 94

3(8. 50 +1. 25 +1. 50) +. 0525 = 33. 82

O3(8. 50 +1. 25) + 2(1. 50) +. 0525 = 32. 30

Answer:

33.94

Explanation:

First start off by finding the total regardless of the 5.25 cents.

(3x8.50)+(3x1.25)+(2x1.50)=32.25

Then take that answer and multiply by your 5.25 cents per dollar

32.25x.0525 (since we're dealing with money)

then add that answer to the original 32.25
