Problem 6: Chocolate, turkey dinner, and gingerbread man.
$0.90 + $8.60 + $2.70
First: $0.90 + $8.60 = $9.50
Then: $9.50 + $2.70 =

Problem 7: Milk shake and ice cream with 5% sales tax.
First, find subtotal:
$2.50 + $2.40 = $4.90
Now calculate 5% tax:
5% of $4.90 = 0.05 × 4.90 = $0.245 → round to nearest cent =
$0.25
Total = $4.90 + $0.25 =
$5.15
✔ Answer: $5.15

Problem 8: Chocolate and candy cane with 5% sales tax.
Subtotal: $0.90 + $1.40 = $2.30
Tax: 5% of $2.30 = 0.05 × 2.30 = $0.115 → round to
$0.12
Total = $2.30 + $0.12 =
$2.42
✔ Answer: $2.42
