Given that Melissa bought a cake that cost $75.
Sales tax rate on the cake = 10%
Now we have to find about what is the total amount she paid for the cake.
Total paid amount is given by:
Total amount she paid = [cost of cake] + [sales tax]
Total amount she paid = 75 + 10% of 75
Total amount she paid = 75 + 0.10* 75
Total amount she paid = 75 + 7.5
Total amount she paid = 82.5
Hence final answer is $82.5.
