Orlando buys a shirt for $15 and a pair of jeans for $32.50. If the sales tax is 8%, what is the total price Orlando pays for the item?

15+32.50= 47.50 is 100% of the price
0.475 is 1% so 0.475•8= $3.8 is 8%

Total price is 47.50+3.80= $51.30

$15 + $32.50 + 8% = $51.30

15 + 32.50 = 47.50

8% × 47.50 = 3.80

47.50 + 3.80 = 51.30
