1 answer

To find the total cost of the girl's purchases, we need to add the prices of the sweater, blouse, and scarf together.

  • Sweater: $21.00
  • Blouse: $14.98
  • Scarf: $4.97

Now, let's add these amounts:

\[ 21.00 + 14.98 + 4.97 \]

First, we can add the sweater and the blouse:

\[ 21.00 + 14.98 = 35.98 \]

Next, we add the cost of the scarf:

\[ 35.98 + 4.97 = 40.95 \]

Therefore, the total cost of her purchases is $40.95.
