Answer:

The final cost of bike = $535.00

Explanation:

Cost of bikes = $500.00

If the sales tax is 7%, the amount paid as tax will be 7% of the total selling price of bike;

7% of $500.00

=
(7)/(100) * 500\\

= $35

The final cost of bike = initial selling price + amount paid as tax

The final cost of bike = $500.00 + $35.00

The final cost of bike = $535.00
