A laptop has a listed price of 735.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 9.75%, find the total cost of the laptop with sales tax included. Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary

Answer 1

807.74

Explanation:

You want the total cost of a laptop priced at 735.98 subject to 9.75% sales tax.

Tax

The added tax multiplies the cost by (1 +0.0975). Then the total cost is ...

735.98(1.0975) ≈ 807.74

The total cost with tax is 807.74.
