The total cost of the model spaceship is $17.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to multiply the cost of the spaceship before tax (15.99) by the tax percentage (0.08).

15.99 x 0.08=1.2792

8 % = 8 /100= 0.08 decimal form

Now, we simply add the tax amount to the original price, to obtain the total cost.

15.99 +1.2792 =17.269 =$17.27 (rounded to the nearest cent)

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
