Answer 1

the total cost of the camera with sales tax included is $493.36.

Answer 2

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 1:

Data:

camera:

list price (before tax) = $459.99

sales tax = 7.25%

Step 2:

percentage:

`sales \ tax = 7.25\% = 7/100 = 0.07`

`total \ cost = \$459.99 + \$459.99 * (0.07) = \$459.99 + \$32.1993 = \$492.1893`

The answer is:

$492.19
