Well, first we have to find out what 5% and 7% of 8,000 is and then add the three numbers up.
.05*8,000=400
.07*8,000=560
400+560+8,000=8960
And finally, we add that extra fee.
8960+15=$8,975
Hope it Helps!!! :)

0.05 x 8000 = 400
0.07 x 8000 = 560
8000 + 560 + 400 = 8960
8960 +15 = 8,975
Total Price = $8,975
