Answer:

Mrs. Johnson's total bill was of $229.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the cost of 1 pair of jeans is, $29.95 or 2 pairs of jeans is $55.00.

Also assume the cost of 1 T-short is, $9.95 or 3 T-shirts is $25.00.

As Mrs. Johnson bought the clothes after seeing the sale she bought the items at the sale amount.

That is, she bought 6 pair of jeans for, [tex]\$55.00\times 3=\$165.00[/tex]

And 6 shirts for, [tex]\$25.00\times 2=\$50.00[/tex]

The cost of items is,

Cost of Items = Price of Jeans + Price of T-shirts

        = 165.00 + 50.00

        = 215.00

The sales tax amount spent be Mrs. Johnson was $14.345.

The total bill paid by her is,

Total Cost = Cost of items + Sales Tax

                 [tex]=215.00+14.35\\=229.35[/tex]

Thus, Mrs. Johnson's total bill was of $229.35.
