Respuesta :

Given:

She purchased:

5 yard of fabric at $7.99/yard

2 spools of thread at $1.25/spool

1 pattern at $5.25

We can calculate the total amount of her purchase before tax by summing the cost of each item without tax.

The total amount:

[tex]\text{Total amount = cost of yard }\times\text{ number of yards purchased + cost of thread }\times\text{ number of spools + cost of pattern }\times Number\text{ of pattern}[/tex]

Substituting we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total amount = 7.99}\times\text{ 5 + 1.25}\times2\text{ + 5.25 }\times\text{ 1} \\ =47.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the total amount of her purchase before tax is $47.7

Answer: $47.7
