the total cost? *

What is the total cost?*

Answer 1

$545.1575

Explanation:

Given function:

• 499,9.25

Solve ways:

• combine 9.25% of 499 and 499

Multiply 9.25 by 0.01:

• 
  `9.25%`·
  `0.01=0.0925`

Multiply the cost by 0.0925:

• 
  `499`·
  `0.0925= 46.1575`

Combine 46.1575 by the first value:

• 
  `499+ 46.1575= 545.1575`

Therefore, the PlayStation 5 will be a total cost of $545.1575.
