Total cost of laptop after sales tax is included = $804.73

Step-by-step explanation:

price before sales tax = $739.98

Sales tax rate = 8.75%

Total cost of laptop after sales tax = $739.98 × (100% + 8.75%)

= $739.98 × (1 + 0.0875)

= 739.98 × 1.0875

= $804.73

Total cost of laptop after sales tax is included= $804.73
