Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.
Kate will receive $24.61 in change.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of t-shirt = $12.95
Cost of pair of shorts = $10.95
Total = cost of t-shirt + cost of pair of shorts
Total = 12.95 + 10.95 = $23.90
Sales tax = 6.25% of total amount
Amount of sales tax = [tex]\frac{6.25}{100}*23.90=\frac{149.375}{100}[/tex]
Amount of sales tax= $1.49
Total amount with sales tax = 23.90 + 1.49 = $25.39
Kate paid $25.39 for her purchases.
Amount paid = $50
Change received = Amount paid - Bill amount
Change received = 50 - 25.39 = $24.61
Kate will receive $24.61 in change.
