Answer:

$Total\ Cost = \$38.97$

Explanation:

Given

$Backpack = \$36$

$Sales\ Tax = 8.25\%$

Required

Determine the Total Cost

Total cost is calculated as thus

$Total\ Cost = Backpack + Backpack * Sales\ Tax$

$Total\ Cost = \$36 + \$36 * 8.25\%$

$Total\ Cost = \$36 + \$2.97$

$Total\ Cost = \$38.97$
