Answer:

$26.06

Step-by-step explanation:

You would like to purchase a glue gun for $8.99 and a basket for $25.99. The highest-priced item is a basket for $25.99. So, the coupon will take the discount off for this item.

The new price of the basket is

[tex]\$25.99\cdot (1-0.4)=\$25.99\cdot 0.6=\$15.594[/tex]

The total cost of your buying  is

[tex]\$8.99+\$15.594=\$25.584[/tex]

There will be a 6% sales tax added to the price of all items. So, the end cost is

[tex]\$25.584\cdot (1+0.06)=\$25.584\cdot 1.06=\$26.05904\approx \$26.06[/tex]
