Since we have a 5% shipping charge, the total cost will be the price of shipping + the shipping charge..... so how do we find the shipping charge . Well in math the word "of" means times so to fins 5% OF 15 we multiply.
5% x 15
We need to convert the percent to decimal in order to do multiplication so divide it by 100 ( move the decimal twice to the left)
.05 x 15 = .75
So the shipping charge is .75 or 75 cents now we need to add it into the original cost to find the total.
$15 + $0.75 = $15.75
Hope this helped have a great day :)
