Given the statement:

Richard goes electronics store. He buys 2 memory cards that cost 8.99 each and 3 packages of batteries that are on sales for 7.47 each. He also buys a case for his cell phone for 2.99 and a wireless headset for two 29.99.

Determine the total cost of Richard items before the sales tax.

Solution:

Since there is no sales tax rate that is stated, we simply solve for the given amount of each item and add them together.

Memory Card 

= 2(8.99)

= 17.98

Batteries

= 3 (7.47)

= 22.41

Phone case

= 2.99

Wireless headset

= 29.99

Add all the amount together.

= 17.98 + 22.41 + 2.99 + 29.99

=73.37

Final answer:

The total cost of Richard's items is 73.37
