® $ 308.96

Answer 2

C. $319.93

Explanation:

We have been given that Jasmine bought a game system that cost $299 before tax. The sales tax was 0.07 times the price.

The cost of game system after tax would be $299 plus 0.07 times $299.

`\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299+0.07* \$299`

`\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299(1+0.07)`

`\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299(1.07)`

`\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$319.93`

Therefore, the cost of the game system including the sales tax would be $319.93.
