Valentina purchased three shirts for $15.99 each two pairs of pants for $25 each and a pair of shoes for $39.99 the sales tax is 5%, how much did she pay a $85.03 b $80.98 see $137.96 d $144.86

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of Valentina's purchases, we first need to find the cost of each item:

1. Cost of three shirts:
\[
3 \times 15.99 = 47.97
\]

2. Cost of two pairs of pants:
\[
2 \times 25 = 50
\]

3. Cost of one pair of shoes:
\[
39.99
\]

Now, let's add these costs together:
\[
47.97 + 50 + 39.99 = 137.96
\]

Next, we need to calculate the sales tax. The sales tax is 5% of the total cost:
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 0.05 \times 137.96 = 6.898
\]

Now, we add the sales tax to the total cost:
\[
137.96 + 6.898 = 144.858
\]

Rounding this to two decimal places gives us:
\[
144.86
\]

Thus, the total amount Valentina paid is **$144.86**, which corresponds to option **d**.
