This is how to solve:

The formula for calculating the sales tax on a good or service is: selling price x sales tax rate and when calculating the total cost of a purchase, the formula is: total sale amount = selling price + sales tax.

Answer:

final sale price = $1.07p

Explanation:

list price of item = $p

sales tax rate = 7% = 0.07

sales tax = 7% of $p

= 7% x $p

= 0.07 x $p

= $0.07p

final sale price = list price + sales tax

= p + 0.07p

= p(1 + 0.07)

= 1.07p
