Julio bought a backpack for $39.95 and
2 belts for $17.99 each. The sales tax is 6.5%. How
much did Julio spend for all the items, including
tax?
A $61.71
B $75.93
C $80.87***
D $98.01
Because (40+2*18)(1.065) = 80.94 I think

good estimate, but why did you not just use the actual amounts?
umm because I asked this earlier and thi is what someone put Im sorry
what would be the correct equation to use?
just what you did, but using 17.99 instead of 18, and 39.95 instead of 40.
Then you will get exactly C, instead of just close to it.
