Jessie went to the mall and bought a CD for $12.98, a skirt for $17.50, a T-shirt for $8.50, and a bottle of water for $1.02. Use mental math to find the total amount she spent.

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

The use of the word "mental math" means round to the nearest whole. By doing this you turn $12.98 into $13 and $1.02 into $1 which will give you $40 in total. This problem doesn't need to round as it is a simple problem. The true answer is $12.98 + $17.50 + $8.50 +$1.02= $40.
