    total cost = $22.4 + $1.12 = $23.52

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mr McNeil bought 2 magazines for $7.45 and 1 book for $14.95. The sales tax is 6%. The total cost of Mr McNeil can be calculated as follows.

    He bought 2 magazines for $7.45. This means the sum of the prize of the 2 magazine he bought is $7.45 and the prize for the single book he bought is $14.95. The total cost of the items he bought excluding the sales tax is the sum of the whole items he bought.

    total cost excluding sales tax = $7.45 + 14.95 = $22.4

    The sales tax is 5% which can be calculated as follows

    5/100 * 22.4 = 112/100 = $1.12

    The total cost of Mr McNeil purchase including his sales tax is

    total cost = $22.4 + $1.12 = $23.52
