Answer: $351


Explanation:

When dealing with added tax you're going to want to turn the percentage into a decimal which will make things a lot easier. 8% is going to be .08. When you turn the percentage into a decimal you want to multiply 325 by .08, this will tell you how much tax is being paid. 325 * .08 is 26, now all you have to do is add 26 to the original price and you'll have the final price which is 351.
