To find the total price including sales tax, Autumn should multiply the price of the camera by \(1 + \text{sales tax rate}\). The sales tax rate in decimal form for 8% is \(0.08\).
So, she should multiply the price by:
\[
1 + 0.08 = 1.08
\]
Therefore, Autumn should multiply the price of the camera by **1.08** to find the total price including tax in one step.
So, she should multiply the price by:
\[
1 + 0.08 = 1.08
\]
Therefore, Autumn should multiply the price of the camera by **1.08** to find the total price including tax in one step.
