Answer 1

$44.16

To do this you will take 38.40 and multiply it by .15 and get 5.76.
Add 5.76 to 38.40 and you get your answer, $44.16

Answer 2

$44.16

Explanation:

total amount to pay = $38.40 + (0.15)($38.40)

= $38.40 + 5.76

= $44.16

You can also just put 38.40 * 1.15 and you will get the same answer
