Answer:
$44.10
Explanation:
Change 5% to a decimal to do the calculation.
5% is .05
(to change % to a decimal, divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.)
Multiply.
42 × .05
gives you 2.1
This is $2.10 for shipping and handling.
Add together.
$42 + $2.10
= $44.10
A $42 purchase with 5% shipping and handling is going to be a total of $44.10
