Given:

Price of chair = $320

Price of lamp = $55

Total cost of furniture Greg purchased is = $320 + $55 = $375

Since the store charges a 7% sales tax, it means the amount Greg paid in tax is

7% of Total cost of furniture purchased.

Thus, the amount Greg paid in tax is:


(7)/(100)*375=\text{ 0.07}*375=26.25

The amount Greg paid in tax
