Answer 1

To calculate the total amount Rebecca paid for the video game including sales tax, we need to add the sales tax to the price of the game.

1. First, calculate the sales tax: $$\text{Sales Tax}=\text{Price of the Game}\times \text{Sales Tax Rate}$$ $$\text{Sales Tax}=30\times 0.07=2.10$$

2. Next, add the sales tax to the original price of the game: $$\text{Total Price}=\text{Price of the Game}+\text{Sales Tax}$$ $$\text{Total Price}=30+2.10=32.10$$

So, the total amount Rebecca paid for the video game including sales tax is $32.10.
