To Find: What is the total cost of Richard’s items, before sales tax?

Solution:

Cost of 1 memory card = $8.99

Cost of 2 memory card = [tex]8.99 \times 2=17.98[/tex]

Cost of 1 battery = $7.47

So, cost of 3 batteries =  [tex]7.47 \times 3=22.41[/tex]

Cost of cell phone = $2.99

Cost of headset = $29.99

Total cost of Items =  $8.99+$17.98+$22.41+ $2.99+ $29.99

                               =$82.36

Thus the total cost of Richard’s items, before sales tax is $82.36
