To calculate the total cost of the snow blower including tax, you need to find the amount of tax and then add it to the original price.
1. Calculate the tax:
\[
\text{Tax} = \text{Price} \times \text{Tax Rate} = 315.55 \times 0.065
\]
\[
\text{Tax} = 20.51675
\]
2. Round the tax to two decimal places (if necessary):
\[
\text{Tax} \approx 20.52
\]
3. Add the tax to the original price:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Price} + \text{Tax} = 315.55 + 20.52 = 336.07
\]
Therefore, the total cost of the snow blower including tax is approximately **$336.07**.
