We know that the hat costs $975 + 5% of that for tax. So Rose is really paying 105% of $975. It's easiest to find the total amount by expressing this percent as a decimal, to write 1.05(975). You can multiply out by hand or using a calculator to see that the total cost t is $1,023.75.

I think it is $1023.75.The question isn't worded very well.
That's an expensive hat.
