Answer:

$72.45

Explanation:

Add the amounts of the manicure and pedicure together: 28 + 35 = 63

Then find 15% of $63. You will need to find the decimal equivalent of 15%. To do this, divide 15 by 100 or move it two decimal places to the right: 15/100 = 0.15

Now, multiply total of the manicure and pedicure, 63, by 0.15: 63 x 0.15 = 9.45

$9.45 will be her tip. To find the total amount Skylar payed, add the tip to the amount spent on the mani/pedi: 63 + 9.45 = 72.45

Skylar will pay $72.45

Hope this helps!
