Answer:
$45.58
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Amelia bought a pair of pants for $25. She also bought two shirts that were originally $12 each, but were on sale for buy one and get the second for half price.
The price of 2nd short would half o $12 that is [tex]\frac{\$12}{2}=\$6[/tex].
The total cost of clothes before tax would be cost of pair of pants plus two shirts.
[tex]\$25+\$12+\$6=\$43[/tex]
Amelia paid a 6% sales tax on the total cost of the clothes, so total cost of clothes would be $43 plus 6% of $43.
[tex]\text{Total cost of clothes}=\$43+(\$43\times \frac{6}{100})[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost of clothes}=\$43+(\$43\times 0.06)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost of clothes}=\$43+(\$2.58)\\[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost of clothes}=\$45.58[/tex]
Therefore, the final cost of clothes after tax was $45.58.
