Question

A shipping company charged $15 to ship a package and 5% to insure the package. What was the total cost to ship this particular item?

Answer 1

The shipping would be 15.75 because 5% of 15 is 0.75, so add 15 to 0.75 and the answer is 15.75 :)

Answer 2

$15.75.
15+5%(15), 5% of 15= 0.75. 15+0.75=15.75.
