THIS is really a stupid question but help me out.
I won a bid on ebay and the shoes are 16.50.
When I Check Out to pay for it, the seller requires me to add another 3% to pay the Paypal fees.
Please answer what is 3% of 16.50$ and put it in actual dollar value. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

The total is $17.
Isn't this one of the first things you learn in school maths lessons?

This is pretty easy to figure out. 3% is 3/100, or .03.
Multiply $16.50 by .03. This would equal .495. $16.50 and add it to the $.495. This equals $16.995, or about $17.00.

Apply the percentage formula which is P=B*R.
P is for percentage($), B is for base ($) and R fo rate(%).
The problem is,
3% of $16.50
B=$16.50
R=3% or .03
P=?
P=B*R
=$16.50 * .03
=$.495 will be added to the original amount
B+P=$16.50 + $.495
=$16.995 Answer

3% of $16.50 = $16.50 x 1.03 = $16.995 = $17.
1.03 > the 1 is for 16.50 (or whole)
> the .03 is for the 3%

10% = $1.65
1% = $0.165
3% = $0.495
You are asked for $16.50 + $0.495 = $16.995
$17 when rounded.

3% is equivalent to multiplying by 0.03
3% of 16.50
= 0.03(16.5)
= 0.495
so round up to 0.5
