Given data:

The current price of the guitar is P=$315.

The sale tax on the guitar is T=8%.

The expression sales tax amount is,

S=TxP

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

S=(8%)($315)

=(0.08)($315)

=$25.2

The expression for the total cost of the guitar is,

T=P+S

substiute the above-calculated vale and given value in the expression.

T=$315+$25.2

=$340.2

Thus, the final cost of the guitar is $340.2.
