Question

Katie has a necklace for $14.5 plus 6% tax. sharon buys a bracelet for $12 plus 6% tax. enter the sum, in dollars, that Katie and sharon paid, including tax. (pls answer fast!)

Answer 1

$28.09
Because 6 percent of both of them combined is 1.59
1.59 + 14.5 + 12 = $28.09 

Answer 2

This is a 2 part problem -- 
Calculate what Katie pays for the necklace total --- 
$14.50 plus 6% can be found by multiplying 

14.50(1.06) = $15.37 for necklace

Do the same for Sharon's bracelet 
12.00(1.06) = $12.72

Add the 2:  $15.37 + $12.72 = $28.09
