B. $332.00
C. $347.75
D. $552.50

Answer 1

The computer will cost $347.75 with sales tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost of the computer with sales tax, we need to multiply the price of the computer by the sales tax rate.

In this case, the price of the computer is $325 and the sales tax is 7%. To find the amount of sales tax, we multiply $325 by 7% (or 0.07).

The amount of sales tax is $22.75. Adding this to the original price of $325 gives us a total cost of $347.75.
