Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

To begin answering this question we need to calculate the total before applying anything. We calculate this by adding up all the amounts of each item purchased. Like so,

Now that we have the total we can apply the 5% discount to this total.

... rounded up

Finally we can apply the 7% sales tax to this purchase to calculate the final price that Ricardo should have paid.

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
