Respuesta :

Answer:

Total amount = $36.45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are cost of the shoe is $30.

Now, we are told that sales tax is 6.5% of the cost.

Thus, sales tax = 6.5% x 30 = $1.95

We are also told that shipping fee is 15% of the shoe price.

Thus, shipping fee = 15% x 30 = $4.5

Total amount paid for the shoes will be; total = shoe price + sales tax + shipping fee = $30 + $1.95 + $4.5

Total amount = $36.45
