Question 3 options:

$79.32

$58.98

$69.32

$83.29

The total would be $83.29 for all of the items and the 5% tax.

So, first let's add the prices together before we calculate the tax rate:

28.99*2 + 21.34

Multiply:

79.32

Now we find the tax rate:

79.32 * 0.05 = 3.966 (we can round up to 3.97)

Add tax and total:

79.32 + 3.97 = 83.29

The total price is $83.29
