Answer 1

$941.65

Explanation:

Salex tax:

We have to find the sales tax of the camera.

tax rate = 9.5%

listed price = $859.95

`\sf Sales \ tax = tax \ rate * listed \ price`

= 9.5 % * 859.95

= 0.095 * 859.95

= $81.70

To find the total cost, add the sales tax to the listed price.

Total cost = 859.95 + 81.70

= $941.65
