**I already know A, thanks for your help!
Just because she got the answer wrong doesn't mean she is stupid. It's okay to get answers wrong it's what makes us human.
We could go see by the logical way....
tom's tax is 7%
cousin's tax is 4%
tom's price is higher than cousin's...
hmm... who has more tax?
1.07 * 22 = tom's price
1.04 * 18 = his cousin's price
then to see who spent more on tax,
0.07*22 = how much tom spent on tax
0.04*18 = how much cousin spent on tax
this the answer lame people who dont have a life yall been should answer but just worry about wrong thing here go the answer for people who need it
to find 7% of 22 which is .7 x 22 that equals 1.54
then add 1.54 to 22.00 to get 23.54
so Toms shirt was $23.54
4% of 12 is .04 x 18 which is 0.72
add the totals 18.00 + 0.72 = 18.72
ADD THE SHIRT TOTALS TOGETHER TO GET $42.26
answer to A: $42.26
