Answer 1

To calculate the total cost before sales tax, you'll want to add the cost of the Nintendo Switch console to the cost of three games.

The console costs $299.00, and each game costs $59.99.

First, calculate the cost of three games:
3 games x $59.99/game = $179.97

Now, add that to the cost of the console:
$299.00 (console) + $179.97 (games) = $478.97

Before sales tax, Mario and Luigi will spend $478.97 on one console and three games.
