Susan purchased the following items at Target: 4 notebooks at $1.29 each, 2 pens at $2.15 each, and 1 package of markers for $3.19.
If the sales tax is 6%, what is the total amount Susan had to pay?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cost is 4*1.29 + 2*2.15 + 3.19 dollars. Calculate the sum.


The tax is 6% o this sum. Calculate 0.06*sum.


Then find the total.
