jingle535

Answer:

$3.02

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the Percentage to decimals:

3% / 100% = 0.03

15% / 100% = 0.15

3% / 0.03 part:

19.55 * 0.03 = 0.5865

19.55 + 0.5865 = 20.1365

OR, since it was "adde on" you can just use 1.03:

19.55 * 1.03 = 20.1365

15% / 0.15 part:

20.1365 * 0.15 = 3.020475

Round to nearest cent: $3.02
