    1.81,2.54,3.77

    Total

    8.12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the tax, multiply the original amount by the tax rate

    tax

    25 * 7.25%

    25 *.0725

    Rounding to the nearest cent

    1.81

    35 * 7.25%

    35 *.0725

    Rounding to the nearest cent

    2.54

    52 * 7.25%

    52 *.0725

    Rounding to the nearest cent

    3.77

    Total for all three

    1.81+2.54+3.77=8.12

    Answer:

    $8.12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Looking at the question

    The question says tax will be added to the total purchase price, so not each of them individually.

    Prices: $25, $35, $52

    Tax rate: 7.25%

    2. Solving

    25+35+52=112

    Percent to decimal = x/100

    7.25÷100=0.0725

    0.0725·112=8.12 (this is the tax)

    Hope this helped! Please mark brainliest 🙂
