The total cost of commodities = $61.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam visited the mall to purchase a shirt and a pair of shoes. The price of the shirt is $12.72. The price of the pair of shoes is $44.00.

The tax rate in the shop = 9%.

We have to find the total price Sam has to pay.

The total cost of the shirt and the pair of shoes =  12.72 + 44 = $56.72

Now there is tax of 9%.

So the cost becomes 1.09 times the initial value.

Hence the final price = 56.72

                                    = $61.82

The final price of shirt and shoes = $61.82
