Ben bought 2 shirts for $16 each,3 pairs of socks for 2.50 a pair, and a pair of jeans for 37.75. if the sales tax is 6.5%,how much did he pay for his items?

$82.27

Step-by-step explanation:

(2.50*3)+(16*2)+37.75=77.25

77.25*6.5%=5.02125

so 5.02125 is the sales tax

77.25+5.02125= $82.27

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
