$144 86
580 98
$85.03
$137.96
To calculate the total cost before tax, multiply the cost of each item by the quantity purchased.
The 3 shirts cost 3 shirts * $15.99/shirt = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97.
The 2 pairs of pants cost 2 pairs * $25/pair = $<<2*25=50>>50.
The pair of shoes cost $39.99.
The total cost before tax is $47.97 + $50 + $39.99 = $<<47.97+50+39.99=137.96>>137.96.
To calculate the sales tax, multiply the total cost before tax by the tax rate.
The sales tax is 5% * $137.96 = $<<5*.01*137.96=6.898>>6.898.
The total cost including tax is $137.96 + $6.898 = $<<137.96+6.898=144.86>>144.86.
Therefore, Valentina paid $144.86.
To calculate how much Valentina paid, we need to add up the cost of the shirts, pants, shoes, and sales tax.
First, let's calculate the cost of the shirts:
3 shirts * $15.99 per shirt = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97
Next, let's calculate the cost of the pants:
2 pairs of pants * $25.00 per pair = $<<2*25=50>>50.00
Now, let's calculate the cost of the shoes:
1 pair of shoes * $39.99 per pair = $<<1*39.99=39.99>>39.99
Now, let's calculate the total cost of Valentina's purchase before sales tax:
$47.97 (shirts) + $50.00 (pants) + $39.99 (shoes) = $<<47.97+50+39.99=137.96>>137.96
Next, let's calculate the sales tax on Valentina's purchase:
5% of $137.96 = $<<137.96*0.05=6.898>>6.90
Finally, let's calculate the total amount Valentina paid:
$137.96 (purchase) + $6.90 (sales tax) = $<<137.96+6.90=144.86>>144.86
Therefore, Valentina paid $144.86.
To calculate how much Valentina paid, we need to find the total cost of the shirts, pants, and shoes, and then add the sales tax.
The cost of the shirts can be found by multiplying the price of each shirt ($15.99) by the number of shirts (3):
3 shirts * $15.99/shirt = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97
Similarly, the cost of the pants can be found by multiplying the price of each pair of pants ($25.00) by the number of pairs (2):
2 pants * $25.00/pair = $<<2*25=50.00>>50.00
The cost of the shoes is $39.99.
To find the total cost of all the items, we add the costs of the shirts, pants, and shoes together:
$47.97 + $50.00 + $39.99 = $<<47.97+50+39.99=137.96>>137.96
Next, we need to add the sales tax. The sales tax is 5% of the total cost, which is equivalent to multiplying the total cost by 0.05:
$137.96 * 0.05 = $6.898
Finally, we add the sales tax to the total cost to find how much Valentina paid:
$137.96 + $6.898 = $144.86
So, Valentina paid $144.86.
