Question

A camera has a listed price of $754.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 7.75% , find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.

Answer 1

$813.46

Explanation:

First, let's set up an expression to help us visualize this information.

754.95 + 754.95(0.0775) = T

where T is the total cost.

Now, evaluating the equation for T:

T = 754.95 + 58.51 = 813.46 when rounded to the nearest cent.

Hope this helped!
