Answer: $1053.78

Explanation:

Tax is 10% so change the percentage to a decimal. 10% = 0.10
10% of 957.98 is 957.98 * 0.10. It equals to 95.798, and that is the tax.
Then add it to the price of the vase so do $957.98 + $95.789 = $1053.778.
You have to round it because money can only have two decimal places so its $1053.78
