Tara is shopping at a department store in the mall. before checking out she wants to make sure she brought enough money to pay for the entire purchase. if the tax rate is 7%, what is a reasonable estimate of the amount of money that tara can expect to pay?

If Tara bought, sweater $ 52, T-shirt $19, Shoes $68, Jeans $72, Necklace $21, the total would be;

52+19+68+72+21 = 230

But a tax rate of 7% was included,

Thus, 230 * 0.07 = 16.1

Therefore, the total amount is 230+16.1 = 246.1

Hence, the Estimate amount of money that Tara expects to pay is $250
