Sales tax = 7% of the sale price

Sales tax = 7/100 * $1,500 = $105

Sale price after 35% discount = 65% of the original price

Sale price = 65/100 * $1,500 = $975

Final sale price after sales tax = sale price + sales tax

Final sale price = $975 + $105 = $1,080

Therefore, the sales tax is $105 and the final sale price after sales tax is $1,080.
