Answer:

$74.90

Explanation:

If $70 is your original price, you would need to multiply it by 1.07, because that is 107%.

Since the original price is 100% of the price, and sales tax is another 7% of the price, you are multiplying the original price by 107%, again making $74.90.

Do you understand?
