Respuesta :

Answer:

$42.26

Tom spent more on tax ($1.54 vs his cousin's $0.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom: $22 x 1.07 = $23.54

tax spent = 22 x 0.07 = $1.54


Cousin: $18 x 1.04 = $18.72

tax spent = 18 x 0.04 = $0.72


Total= $23.54 + $18.72 = $42.26

Answer:

toms pays: $1.54 sales tax and $23.54 total price

his cousin pays $0.72 sales tax and 18.72 total

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 22.00 by 0.07 (7%) toms sales tax

multiply 18 by 0.04 (4%) for his cousin sales tax
