To determine the lowest total price, we need to calculate the total cost for each option.
For option A:
The total cost would be $10 (case cost) + $3 (shipping and handling) + 5% tax on $3 (tax) = $10 + $3 + $0.15 = $13.15.
For option B:
The total cost would be $11 (case cost) + $2.50 (shipping and handling) = $13.50.
For option C:
The total cost would be $10 (case cost) + $3 (shipping and handling) = $13.
For option D:
The total cost would be $9 (case cost) + $3.50 (shipping and handling) + 10% tax on $3.50 (tax) = $9 + $3.50 + $0.35 = $12.85.
Therefore, the option with the lowest total price is option A, which sells the cell phone case for $13.15.
