Sarah took clothes to the cleaners three times last month.​ First, she brought 2 shirts and 1 of slacks and paid ​$9.97. Then she brought 5 ​shirts, 3 pairs of​ slacks, and 1 sports coat and paid ​$34.91. ​Finally, she brought 3 shirts and 2 sports coats and paid ​$22.45. How much was she charged for each​ shirt, each pair of​ slacks, and each sports​ coat?

Each Shirt costs: $1.49

Each Slack costs: $4.49

Each Sport coat costs: $7.99

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
