To calculate the shipping and handling costs for Baldwin's refrigerator, you can take 17% of the purchase price of $888.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
17\% = 0.17
\]
Next, multiply the price by the decimal:
\[
\text{Shipping and Handling} = 888 \times 0.17
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\text{Shipping and Handling} = 150.96
\]
So, Baldwin will pay **$150.96** for shipping and handling.
