Question

A.
$90.99

B.
$89.19

C.
$91.09

D.

Answer 1

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

1. Cost of skates = $79.97
2. Sales tax = $5.07
3. Shipping = $5.95

Now, we can add these amounts together:

\[ \text{Total cost} = 79.97 + 5.07 + 5.95 \]

Calculating this step by step:

1. Adding the cost of the skates and the sales tax: \[ 79.97 + 5.07 = 85.04 \]

2. Now adding the shipping: \[ 85.04 + 5.95 = 90.99 \]

Therefore, the total cost of Jay's skates is $90.99.

The correct answer is A. $90.99.
