Veronica spends $30.75 in total.

8% in decimal form is 0.08. To find how much the sales tax is, we need to multiply 25 * 0.08, which equals 2. Let's add the sales tax to the total price. 25 + 2 = 27.

15% in decimal form is 0.15. To find how much she tips, we need to multiply 25 * 0.15, which equals 3.75. Let's add that to our total. 27 + 3.75 = 30.75

So, our answer is $30.75.
