Answer 2

Answer: $ 958.35

Explanation:

Given: The cost of table = $599.99

The cost of one chair = $89.59

Then, the cost of four such chairs is given by :-

`4*89.59=\$\ 358.36`

The cost of 4 chairs = $358.36

Now, the total purchase is given by :-

`\text{Total Purchase= Cost of table + Cost of 4 chairs}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Total Purchase= }\$\ 358.36+\$\ 599.99=\$\ 958.35`

Hence, the total purchase = $ 958.35
