Because .99 is so close to 1, we can round each number up, 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 8!We can break our problem into pieces. (6+6) + (6+6) + (2+8). Solve the first, then the second, then the third, you end up with this! 12 + 12 + 10. This is easy now. 12 + 12 is 24, then add ten, the total is 34! $34.00!
Hm... looks like we need to add tax. Tax is extra money you pay that goes to the government through businesses! In this case, We need to add 1 fifth of the money in tax. So how much money would go to tax? We can start with figuring out the equation, which is 34 divided by 1/5.
