Answer: $755.99

Step-by-step explanation: The first step in finding how much an item or product costs with tax is to take the price of the product and multiply it by the percentage of sales tax to find out how much the tax costs. The next step is to take this cost of the tax and add it to the original price of the product. This gives you your final cost. This gives us the following equations.

In this problem the sales tax is 5%, which is equal to 0.05

(719.99) (0.05) = 35.9995

35 + 719.99 = 755.9895

The answer we get from the equations is 755.9895. Rounding to the nearest penny, or hundredth space, gives us our final answer of $755.99
