Jennifer earned $75.00 babysitting. She went shopping and bought a shirt for $18.50, a skirt for $22.95, and 3 pairs of socks for $4.75 each. She paid a 7% sales tax on all of the items she bought. How much money did Jennifer have left?

Respuesta :

20 percent. Would be right

Based on the amount she earned and the total amount she spent, Jennifer was left with $15.40.

First find the total amount she spent:

= 18.50 + 22.95 + (4.75 x 3 socks)

= $55.70

She then paid a sales tax of 7%:

= Cost of clothes x ( 1 + sales tax)

= 55.70 x ( 1 + 7%)

= $59.60

The amount of money that Jennifer had left is:

= Amount earned - amount spent

= 75 - 59.60

= $15.40

In conclusion, she had $15.40 left.
