Jenny bought 7 t-shirts, one for each of her seven brothers, for $9.95 each.
The cashier charged her an additional $13.07 in sales tax. She left the store
with a measly $7.28. How much money did Jenny start with?

Cost of 7 t-shirts $ (7 X 9.95) = $ 69.65

Total selling price = $ 69.95 + $ 13.07 = $ 83.02

Money left with Jenny = $ 7.28

Hence, total money that Jenny start with is $ 83.02 + $ 7.28 = $ 90.03
