    Mary spent a total of $69.55.

    The total cost without tax for the pair of jeans and sweater is $65.

    30 + 35 = 65

    Now, we just have add on the tax. Since the tax rate is 7%, we just need to multiply by 1.07 to find the amount with the tax included.

    65 x 1.07 = 69.55

    To find the total amount Mary spent after tax, you will calculate the price before tax and then find the amount after the tax has been included.

    1. $30 + $35 = $65

    2. $65 x 1.07 = $69.55 (We multiplied by 1.07, because 1 is the whole price and the 0.07 represents the part that is the tax).

    Mary's total cost after tax was $69.55.
