Answer:

Sarah spent 45.76

Jack spent 38.16

Jack spent more on tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarahs game costs:

tax = 44 *.04 = 1.76

Total cost = game + tax

                  = 44 + 1.76

                  =45.76


Jacks game costs:

tax = 36 *.06 = 2.16

Total cost = game + tax

                  = 36 + 2.16

                  =38.16

Jack spent more on tax
