Answer:
$37.97
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of the shoes before tax is 100% of the price of the shoes.
Then the tax adds 5.5% of the price of the shoes to the price of the shoes.
He ends up paying 100% + 5.5% of the price of the shoes.
100% + 5.5% = 105.5%
Now we find 105.5% of $35.99.
105.5% of $35.99 = 1.055 × $35.99 = $37.96945
Answer: $37.97
