Answer:1105

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan bought $90 worth of souvenir on which he paid 5% tax. Therefore he paid

90×(1.05)= 94.5

Then he spent $420 on prepared food on which 7% tax is charged. Therefore he paid

420×(1.07)= 449.4

Than he uses car on rent for $510 on which 10% tax is charged. Therefore he paid

510×(1.1)= 561

Therefore the total amount he paid including taxes is 561+449.4+94.5= 1104.9 or 1105 (rounding off)
