Answer 1

Ned Robinson buys a microwave for $149.99.

A microwave cart for $119.95.

A microwave cookware for $19.95.

tax rate is 5.5 %

total amount =

$\begin{gathered} 149.99+119.95+19.95=28.89 \\ \end{gathered}$

thus 5.5% of 28.89 is,

$\begin{gathered} 28.89\times\frac{5.5}{100} \\ =15.94 \end{gathered}$

thus total bill is,

$28.89+15.94=44.83$
