    binders = 11 * 1.37 = 15.07

    pens = 12 *.87 = 10.44

    paper = 27.19

    supplies = 27.19+10.44+15.07 = 52.70

    tax rate = 7.5+.5+2 = 10%

    52.7 * 10%

    52.7 *.1 = 5.27

    Answer: he pays $5.27 in taxes

    He will pay $5.27 in taxes for his purchases

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Chin Quong purchased 11 binders for $1.37 each

    Price of 11 binders = 11 * 1.37 = $15.07

    A dozen pens for 0.87 each

    Price of 12 pens = 12 * 0.87 = $10.44

    A box of copier paper = $27.19

    Total cost of his purchase = 15.07 + 10.44 + 27.19 = $52.70

    Chin Quong must pay state tax of 7.5%, County tax of 0.5% and City tax of 2%

    Total taxes = 7.5 + 0.5 + 2 = 10%

    10% of 52.70

    = 0.10 * 52.70 = $5.27

    He will pay $5.27 in taxes for his purchases
