    Tom paid $23.54 while his cousin spent $18.72. Tom spent more on tax $.082 more than his cousin.

    Explanation:

    Tom

    Cost of shirt = $22

    Sales tax = 7%

    Total amount paid = 22 + (7% * 22)

    = 22 + 1.54

    = $23.54

    Tom's cousin

    Cost of shirt = $18

    Sales tax = 4%

    Total amount paid = 18 + (4% * 18)

    = 18 + 0.72

    = $18.72

    Tom spent more on tax as he spent $1.54 as against his cousin's $0.72.
