Answer: $1,271.88

Explanation:

The total cost of the camera with sales tax included will be 100% plus our sales tax:

100% + 9.75% = 109.75%

Dividing a percent (%) by 100 gives us a decimal:

109.75% / 100 = 1.975

We can multiply this decimal by the listed price of the camera to find our answer

643.99 * 1.975 = $1,271.88

The camera will cost $1,271.88 with sales tax.
