25.75+15.49+9.95=51.19
51.19 times 1.0825=55.41

All you have to do is add the items together and multiply by the tax percentage as a decimal.
(25.75 + 15.49 + 9.95) = 51.19
51.19 * .0825 = 4.22
Add the two together and you get the total!
51.19 + 4.22 = 55.41

Add 'em up and then multiply by 1.0825
25.75 + 15.49 + 9.95 = 51.19 * 1.0825 = $55.41

add the three amounts together
then multiply by 1.0825
( she has to pay for the items [1] and pay tax [0.0825] )
to get the answer
