To find the total amount of Eve's purchase, we first need to calculate the total cost of the computer system and the software package before sales tax.
Total cost before sales tax = Cost of computer system + Cost of software package
Total cost before sales tax = $2,450 + $295
Total cost before sales tax = $2,745
Now, we need to calculate the sales tax on the total cost before sales tax.
Sales tax = 6.5% of total cost before sales tax
Sales tax = 0.065 * $2,745
Sales tax = $178.425
Finally, we can find the total amount of Eve's purchase by adding the total cost before sales tax and the sales tax amount.
Total amount of purchase = Total cost before sales tax + Sales tax
Total amount of purchase = $2,745 + $178.425
Total amount of purchase = $2,923.425
Therefore, the total amount of Eve's purchase, including sales tax, was $2,923.425.
Eve purchased a computer system for $2,450 and an integrated
software package for $295. If she had to pay a sales tax of 6.5%,
what was the total amount of her purchase?
