relax, you are reading too much into the question.... They are asking for total tax... 1%= 3.4 + 1.5%= 3.451 + 3%= 10.2 just add em up...

She buys the bike for $340
3% state sales tax = 340 * .03 = 10.20
1½% county sales tax = .015 * 340 = 5.10
1% municipal sales tax = .01 * 340 = 3.40
Bike + all taxes = 340 + 10.20 + 5.10 + 3.40 = $358.70
