Kim bought a silver ring priced at $38.72.Shipping and handling cost an additional 25% of the price. What was the total cost of the silver ring,including shipping and handling?
$${\mathtt{38.72}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.25}} = {\frac{{\mathtt{242}}}{{\mathtt{25}}}} = {\mathtt{9.68}}$$
That is the additional 25% you just add it to the beginning price
38.72+9.68=48.40
The total cost is $48.40
too much tbh
