How much has Teri spent all total for the day?

Answer
A
$121.52
B
$109.58
C
$107.79
D
$88.19

Explanation

The clothes cost $32.94 + $15.89 + 2($19.99) = $88.81, and lunch costs $6.95 + $1.49 + $3.49 = $11.93. The combined subtotal is $100.74, so 7% sales tax is about $7.05. The 15% tip on lunch is about $1.79; adding these gives $100.74 + $7.05 + $1.79 = $109.58. The best answer is $109.58.
