Answer 1

This should help! I tried to make it as neat as possible but please let me know if something is unclear!

Answer 2

First, lets find what 6 percent of 36 is. We do this by multiplying 36 by 0.06.

36 * 0.06 = 2.16

After this, we add this amount to the total of 36 dollars, which will be the total of what she paid.

36 + 2.16 = 38.16

38.16 is the total of what she paid.
