48 x 7% = 84/25 or 3.36
=> Total price = 48 + 3.36
= 1284/25 or 51.36

Answer:

$ 51.36

Explanation:

To find the sales tax multiply the tax rate by the cost of the product and then add to the cost.

Sales tax = tax rate * cost price

= 7% * 48

= 0.07 * 48

= $ 3.36

Cost price = cost of product + sales tax

= 48 + 3.36

= $ 51.36
