A vase which cost $34.99 the shipping charge was $3.00 and 8.25% sales tax was paid on the subtotal which including the shipping charge.
Now, to find the amount paid for the vase.
Cost of vase = $34.99.

Now, to get the amount paid for the vase:
$37.99 + 8.25% of $37.99
[tex]=37.99+\frac{8.25}{100} \times 37.99[/tex]
[tex]=37.99+0.0825\times 37.99[/tex]
[tex]=37.99+3.13[/tex]
[tex]=\$41.12.[/tex]
Therefore, the amount paid for the vase is $41.12.
