Accepted Solution
A:
Tax= Tax %(Price of 2 Shirts + 50% of 3rd Shirt) Tax= 7.1%[49.96+49.96+1/2(49.96)] Tax= 0.071(49.96+49.96+24.98) Tax= 0.071(124.90) Tax= $8.8679
Total= Tax + Price of Shirts Total= $8.8679 + $124.90 Total= $133.7689 or rounded $133.77
Mean Price= Total ÷ 3 Mean= $44.5893 or rounded $44.59
