Terry buys a shirt for $14.99 and a pair of jeans for $39.99. If the sales tax is 8.25%, what is the total price Terry pays for the items?
Can someone please show me how to work this problem?

1.0825 * (14.99 + 39.99) = ?
How did you get 8.25% as 1.0825. We was taught to move the decimal two times to the left. Can you explain how you got 1.0825?
1.0 is the cost of the merchandise. 0.0825 is the amount of tax.
Thank you
You're welcome, Sarah.
