If 5% sales tax is added to her total, what is the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible without going over?

Approximately $14.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the groceries be represented by c, then;

cost price + VAT = c + (5% of c)

To get the value of the cost, c, that would make him spend as close to $15. Since the tax is 5% of the cost price, then the cost price would be close to $15.

Let c = $14.20, then;

So that,

c + (5% of c) = 14.20 + (5% of 14.20)

                    = 14.20 + 0.71

                    = $14.91

Thus, the greatest total cost of groceries Darla can spend in order to spend as close to $15 as possible is approximately $14.20.

she would want to sell 10 full-year subscriptions and at least 9 half-year subscriptions to get a total of at least $300.
