Question

dwyer orders the following items from a catalog. what is the total price he charges to his credit card if the sales tax is 6 percent and non - taxable shipping costs $5 for the order? round to the nearest cent if necessary.

item	amount
soccer ball	$25.00
shin guards	$10.00
cleats	$60.00

options: $104.94, $107.94, $112.54, $120.54

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the item amounts

First, we add up the prices of all the items. The amounts are $14.00 (Shorts), $25.00 (Soccer ball), $10.00 (Shin guards), and $60.00 (Cleats). So, we calculate \( 14 + 25 + 10 + 60 \).
\( 14 + 25 = 39 \), \( 39 + 10 = 49 \), \( 49 + 60 = 109 \). So the total of the items is $109.00.

Step2: Add shipping cost

Next, we add the shipping cost of $5.00 to the total of the items. So we calculate \( 109 + 5 \).
\( 109 + 5 = 114 \). Wait, but maybe there's sales tax? Wait, the problem says "sales tax is 6 percent" (I think the image had sales tax 6%? Wait, the original problem: "What is the total price he charges to his credit card if the sales tax is 6 percent and non - taxable shipping costs $5 for the order?". Oh, I missed the sales tax. Let's correct that.

Step1 (Revised): Calculate subtotal (items)

Subtotal (items) = \( 14 + 25 + 10 + 60 = 109 \) dollars.

Step2 (Revised): Calculate sales tax

Sales tax is 6% of the subtotal. So tax = \( 0.06\times109 \).
\( 0.06\times109 = 6.54 \) dollars.

Step3 (Revised): Add subtotal, tax, and shipping

Total = Subtotal + Tax + Shipping. Subtotal is 109, tax is 6.54, shipping is 5. So \( 109 + 6.54 + 5 \).
\( 109 + 6.54 = 115.54 \), \( 115.54 + 5 = 120.54 \)? Wait, no, wait the options are $104.94, $109.94, $115.54, $120.54. Wait, let's recalculate:

Subtotal (items): \( 14 + 25 + 10 + 60 = 109 \)

Tax: \( 109\times0.06 = 6.54 \)

Shipping: $5

Total = \( 109 + 6.54 + 5 = 120.54 \)? Wait, no, maybe I misread the shipping. Wait, the problem says "non - taxable shipping costs $5". So tax is on the items only. So:

Items: 14 + 25 + 10 + 60 = 109

Tax: 109 * 0.06 = 6.54

Shipping: 5

Total = 109 + 6.54 + 5 = 120.54? But the options include $115.54, $120.54. Wait, maybe the shipping is not added? No, the problem says shipping is $5. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the subtotal. Let's check the items again: Shorts $14, Soccer ball $25, Shin guards $10, Cleats $60. 14+25=39, 39+10=49, 49+60=109. Correct. Tax: 109*0.06=6.54. Then add shipping 5: 109+6.54=115.54, 115.54+5=120.54. But one of the options is $120.54. Wait, but let's check the options again. The options are $104.94, $109.94, $115.54, $120.54. Wait, maybe the shipping is taxable? No, the problem says non - taxable shipping. Wait, maybe I miscalculated. Wait, 109 (subtotal) + 6.54 (tax) = 115.54, then add 5 (shipping) = 120.54. So the total is $120.54.

Answer:

\( \$120.54 \)
