multiply(divide(add(multiply(25, divide(10, const_100)), multiply(50, divide(2, const_100))), const_100), const_100)
"assume she has $ 200 to spend . tax clothing = 25 % = $ 50 = $ 5 food = 25 % = $ 50 = $ 0.00 items = 50 % = $ 100 = $ 2.00 total tax = $ 20.00 % of total amount = 7 / 200 * 100 = 3.5 % answer d"
