Question

Sarah purchased 6 tons of sand $42.88 per ton and 7 cubic yards of mulch $28.58 per cubic yard. The state sales tax was 4.5%. What was the cash register receipt total?

Answer 1

$477.92

Explanation:

42.88 x 6= 257.28

28.58 x 7= 200.06

257.28+200.06=457.34

457.34 x .045= 20.58

20.58+457.34= 477.92
