Answer:
The total cost of commodities = $61.82
Step-by-step explanation:
Sam visited the mall to purchase a shirt and a pair of shoes. The price of the shirt is $12.72. The price of the pair of shoes is $44.00.
The tax rate in the shop = 9%.
We have to find the total price Sam has to pay.
The total cost of the shirt and the pair of shoes = 12.72 + 44 = $56.72
Now there is tax of 9%.
So the cost becomes 1.09 times the initial value.
Hence the final price = 56.72[tex]\times 1.09[/tex]
= $61.82
The final price of shirt and shoes = $61.82
