First, calculate the sales tax on the items:
5% of $68.50 = 0.05 * 68.50 = $3.43
Add the sales tax to the total amount of the items:
$68.50 + $3.43 = $71.93
Add the shipping charge to the total amount:
$71.93 + $4.50 = $76.43
Therefore, the total amount of the purchase was $76.43.
5% of $68.50 = 0.05 * 68.50 = $3.43
Add the sales tax to the total amount of the items:
$68.50 + $3.43 = $71.93
Add the shipping charge to the total amount:
$71.93 + $4.50 = $76.43
Therefore, the total amount of the purchase was $76.43.
