To calculate how much Valentina paid, we first need to find the total cost of her purchases and then apply the sales tax.

1. **Calculate the cost of the shirts:**
- 3 shirts at $15.99 each:
\[
3 \times 15.99 = 47.97
\]

2. **Calculate the cost of the pants:**
- 2 pairs of pants at $25.00 each:
\[
2 \times 25.00 = 50.00
\]

3. **Calculate the cost of the shoes:**
- 1 pair of shoes at $39.99:
\[
39.99
\]

4. **Add up the total cost before tax:**
\[
47.97 + 50.00 + 39.99 = 137.96
\]

5. **Calculate the sales tax (5% of the total cost):**
\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 0.05 \times 137.96 = 6.898
\]

6. **Total cost including tax:**
\[
137.96 + 6.898 = 144.858
\]

Rounding to two decimal places, the total amount Valentina paid is **$144.86**.

So, the correct answer is:
**$144.86**
