To calculate the total amount Valentina paid, we need to multiply the price of each item by the number of items she bought, and then add them all together.
The cost of the shirts is 3 shirts * $15.99 per shirt = $<<3*15.99=47.97>>47.97.
The cost of the pants is 2 pants * $25.00 per pant = $<<2*25=50>>50.00.
The cost of the shoes is $39.99.
Now, let's add up these costs: $47.97 + $50.00 + $39.99 = $137.96.
Since the sales tax is 5%, we need to add an additional 5% of $137.96 to the total cost.
5% of $137.96 is 0.05 * $137.96 = $6.898.
Now, let's add the sales tax to the total cost: $137.96 + $6.898 = $144.858.
Therefore, Valentina paid $144.86.
