Answer:
Total price = 1.05x

Explanation:
Assume that the original price of the shoes is x
The tax is 5% of the price, this means that:
taxes = 5% price
taxes = 0.05 x
taxes = 0.05

The total price paid will be equal to the summation of the original price of the shoes and the taxes.
This means that:
Total price = original price + taxes
Total price = x + 0.05x
Total price = 1.05x

Hope this helps :)
