Please someone help quick

Hamed bought some art supplies from an online retailer. The retailer charges a $5.95 shipping fee or 6% of the total purchase price, whichever is greater. If Hamed's total purchase is $124.50.

a) Calculate how much shipping Hamad will pay ?

b) Calculate the total amount Hamad will pay after shipping ?

Answer 1

6% of purchase is a) $7.47 and therefore it is the greater of the two options.

b) $131.97 total with shipping

Explanation:

$124.50 multiplied by .06 = $7.47 which is greater than $5.95

124.50 + $7.47 = $131.97
