Answer:

$61.95

Explanation:

First find the amount of sales tax.

59 times .05= 2.95

Sales tax is $2.95, because 5% is written as .05 as a decimal. .05 times 59 gives us how much money 5% of $59 is.

Now add that to the original price!

59+2.95= 61.95

So our final price is $61.95

Hope this helps!
