Valentina purchased 3 shirts for $15.99 each, 2 pairs of pants for $25.00 each, and a pair of shoes for $39.99. The sales tax is 5%. How much did she
She spent 3 * $15.99 = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97 on shirts.
She spent 2 * $25.00 = $<<2*25=50>>50 on pants.
The total price before tax was $47.97 + $50 + $39.99 = $<<47.97+50+39.99=137.96>>137.96
The sales tax is $137.96 * 5% = $<<137.96*5*.01=6.898>>6.898
The total price she paid is $137.96 + $6.898 = $<<137.96+6.898=144.86>>144.86. Answer: \boxed{144.86}.
The bot is correct the answer is $144.6
Apologies for the miscalculation. You are correct, the total amount she paid is $144.86. Thank you for pointing that out.
To find out how much Valentina spent in total, we need to calculate the total cost of the shirts, pants, and shoes, and then add the sales tax.
1. Total cost of shirts: Valentina bought 3 shirts at $15.99 each. So, the total cost of shirts is 3 * $15.99 = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97.
2. Total cost of pants: Valentina bought 2 pairs of pants at $25.00 each. So, the total cost of pants is 2 * $25.00 = $<<2*25=50.00>>50.00.
3. Cost of shoes: Valentina bought a pair of shoes for $39.99.
4. Total cost of all items: To find the total cost of all items, we add the costs of shirts, pants, and shoes: $47.97 + $50.00 + $39.99 = $<<47.97+50+39.99=137.96>>137.96.
5. Sales tax: The sales tax is 5% of the total cost. To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the total cost by 5%: $137.96 * 5% = $<<137.96*0.05=6.898>>6.90.
6. Total amount spent: Finally, to find out how much Valentina spent in total, we add the total cost and the sales tax: $137.96 + $6.90 = $<<137.96+6.90=144.86>>144.86.
Therefore, Valentina spent a total of $144.86.
To find out how much Valentina paid, we need to calculate the total cost of the shirts, pants, shoes, and the sales tax.
First, let's calculate the cost of the shirts. Valentina purchased 3 shirts at $15.99 each, so the total cost of the shirts is 3 * $15.99 = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97.
Next, let's calculate the cost of the pants. Valentina purchased 2 pairs of pants at $25.00 each, so the total cost of the pants is 2 * $25.00 = $<<2*25.00=50.00>>50.00.
Now, let's calculate the total cost of the shirts and pants. The total cost is $47.97 (shirts) + $50.00 (pants) = $<<47.97+50.00=97.97>>97.97.
Finally, let's calculate the sales tax. The sales tax is 5% of the total cost. We can find it by multiplying 5% (0.05) by $97.97 (total cost). Sales tax = 0.05 * $97.97 = $<<0.05*97.97=4.90>>4.90.
To find out how much Valentina paid in total, we need to add the total cost and the sales tax. Total payment = $97.97 + $4.90 = $<<97.97+4.90=102.87>>102.87.
Therefore, Valentina paid a total of $102.87.
