1 answer

To calculate the total amount of money Sammy spent, we first need to find the total cost of the T-shirts and the jeans, and then add the sales tax.

  1. Cost of T-shirts:

    • He bought 3 T-shirts at $15.75 each.
    • Total cost of T-shirts = 3 * $15.75 = $47.25
  2. Cost of jeans:

    • He bought 2 pairs of jeans at $28.79 each.
    • Total cost of jeans = 2 * $28.79 = $57.58
  3. Total cost before tax:

    • Total cost = Total cost of T-shirts + Total cost of jeans
    • Total cost = $47.25 + $57.58 = $104.83
  4. Total amount spent including sales tax:

    • Total amount spent = Total cost + Sales tax
    • Total amount spent = $104.83 + $5.24 = $110.07

So, the total amount of money Sammy spent is $110.07.

Thus, the answer is $110.07.
