Answer:

$17.07

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the percent of the price

Convert 7% to fraction


= (7)/(100)\\\\=(7)/(100)* \:15.95

Multiply


=(7* \:15.95)/(100)

Multiply the factors


7* \:15.95=111.65\\\\=(111.65)/(100)

Divide


(111.65)/(100)=1.1165\\\\=1.1165

Step 2: Add the percent off to the original price


15.95 + 1.1165\\\\= 17.0665

Therefore, the total cost including tax in the nearest cent is 17.07 dollars
