Kevin wants to buy six T-shirts, four sweaters, and five jackets for his children. How much does Kevin have to pay for all the items, including the sales tax?
Answer:
The six T - shirts cost 6 x $8 = $48. The four sweaters cost 4 x $18 = $72. And five jackets normally cost 5 x $80 = $400. So, a discount of 10 / 100 x $400 = $40 for the five jackets.

Therefore, Kevin has to pay $480 + $24 = $504. including the sales tax. The answer is 504.
