To find the total cost of Jay's skates, we need to add the cost of the skates, the sales tax, and the shipping cost together.

  1. Cost of the skates: $79.97
  2. Sales tax: $5.07
  3. Shipping cost: $5.95

Now, let's calculate the total cost:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Skates} + \text{Sales Tax} + \text{Shipping} \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 79.97 + 5.07 + 5.95 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 79.97 + 5.07 = 85.04 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 85.04 + 5.95 = 90.99 \]

The total cost of Jay's skates is $90.99, which corresponds to option B.
