    Solution-

    89.50/2 = 44.75

    44.75 is the amount he spent to buy his nephew the pair of shoes.

    Now, we are going to add the amount he spent for himself and his nephew together.

    89.50 + 44.75 = 134.25

    134.25 is the amount he spent in total, now we need to find the final amount with sales tax included.

    We can do this by multiplying the total price by. 075

    134.25 *.075 = 10.07 (I rounded this to the nearest hundredths because we are dealing with money)

    Now we need to add the two number together.

    134.25 + 10.07 = 144.32

    Answer-

    The total amount Kyle spent is $144.32
