Answer: $2.10

Step-by-step explanation: 3% of $70 is $2.10.

The total cost would be $72.10

How to calculate percentages:

Divide the number that you want to turn into a percentage by the whole. In this example, you would divide 2 by 5. 2 divided by 5 = 0.4. You would then multiply 0.4 by 100 to get 40, or 40%.
