Answer

Total cost = $79.55

Step-by-step explanation

The total cost will be given as

Total cost = (Sales price) + (Extra cost due to tax)

Sales price = $74

Extra cost due to tax = 7.5% of $74 = 0.075 (74) = $5.55

Total cost = (Sales price) + (Extra cost due to tax)

Total cost = 74 + 5.55 = $79.55

Hope this Helps!!!
