Answer: Sales tax = $8.87, total price = $132.95

Each headphone is sold at the rate of $31.02

4 head phones will be sold at

4 x $31.02

= $124.08

The total cost of 4 head phones = $124.08

The sales tax rate = 7.15%

The sales tax = sales tax rate x initial cost of the headphones

The sales tax = 7.15/100 x 124.08

The sales tax = 0.0715 x 124.08

Sales tax = $8.87

Total price = cost of the 4 head phones + sales tax

Total price = 124.08 + 8.87

Total price = $132.95
