    Your answer is 41.40

    because

    15% of 36 is 5.40

    so 5.40 + 36.00 = 41.40

    A handy trick to think about this is that we can multiply the original amount by 1.15 to indicate we're paying the full amount ($36) plus an extra 15%.

    Thus, multiplying 36 by 1.15 ...

    36*1.15 = $41.40
