Answer:
$\$ 713.84$

Explanation:

Given

The price of a chainsaw is
$\$539.95$

The price of each safety chaps is
$\$69.95$

Total price before sales tax

$\Rightarrow C=539.95+2* 69.95\\\Rightarrow C=\$ 679.85$

with a tax of 5%, the total cost will be

$\Rightarrow C_t=1.05C\\\Rightarrow C_t=1.05* 679.85=\$ 713.84$
