A camera has a listed price of $587.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.
Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

$637.95

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 8.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

8.5÷100= 0.085

then multiply.

587.98×(0.085)=49.97

now add.

587.98+49.97=637.95
