Answer:
Total bill = $17.18
Step-by-step explanation:
Niomi purchased 2 yards of 45" flat fold material at $2.29/yd.
Cost of 2 yard of 45" flat fold material = 2.29 × 2
= $4.58
Shen then bought 2 more yards of 60" 100% cotton broadcloth at $5.89.
Cost of 2 more yards material = 5.89 × 2
=$11.78
Total cost of 4 yards cloth material with sales tax
= (4.58 + 11.78) + 5% of (4.58 + 11.78)
= $16.36 + (5% of $16.36)
= 16.36 + (0.05 × 16.36)
= 16.36 + 0.818
= $17.178
= $17.18
