In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

camera:

list price (before tax) = $459.99

sales tax = 7.25%

Step 02:

percentage:

sales tax = 7.25% = 7/100 = 0.07

total cost = $459.99 + $459.99 * (0.07) = $459.99 + $32.1993 = $492.1893

The answer is:

$492.19
