You are buying shoes online. The shoes cost $30. The sales tax is 6.5% and the shipping is 15% of the shoe price. What is the total amount paid for the shoes? Group of answer choices

The total amount paid for the shoe is $36.45

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the total amount to be paid for a shoe ordered online given the tax to be paid and the shipping cost.

The value of the sales tax = 6.5% of $30

This is mathematically equal to; 6.5/100 * 30 = $1.95

The shipping is 15% of the shoe price

Mathematically this is equal to 15/100 * 30 =

$4.5

The total amount paid for the shoe is thus; $30 + $1.95 + $4.5 = $36.45
