baseball 2..

The town Little League needed more baseball bats. Bats normally cost $25 each. Because it is late in the season, the sporting goods company is having a half-price sale. It is such a good deal that the league decides to stock up for the next season and buy fifty bats. What is their total bill? (DO not forget to add the sales tax of 7.5%)

a bat costs $25
50 bats cost=50x$25
cost=$1250
sales tax=.075 x $1250
sales tax=$93.75
total cost = $1250+$93.75
total cost=$1343.75
