Solution:

Three pairs of jeans for $42 each.

Total cost of Jeans[tex]=3*42=126[/tex] $

Five shirts with an average cost of $27 per shirt.

Total cost of shirts[tex]=5*27=135[/tex] $

Total amount payable for Jeans and shirts[tex]=126+135=261[/tex] $

Tax payable =6.5 % .

Net payable amount[tex]=261+261*0.065=261+16.965=277.965[/tex]

So if she buy all item then tax payable=16.965 =17$
