Calculate the sales tax: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100}\right) \] \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 359.98 \times \left(\frac{7.25}{100}\right) = 359.98 \times 0.0725 = 26.0905 \]
-
Add the sales tax to the original price: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Price} + \text{Sales Tax} \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 359.98 + 26.0905 = 386.0705 \]

To express the total cost in hundredths (cents), convert it to two decimal places: \[ \text{Total Cost in hundredths} = 386.07 \]
