To calculate the total cost of the suit, we need to first determine the amount of sales tax and then add that to the original price of the suit.
1. **Calculate the sales tax**:
- Sales tax = Price of the suit × Sales tax rate
- Sales tax = $350 × 0.06 = $21
2. **Calculate the total cost**:
- Total cost = Price of the suit + Sales tax
- Total cost = $350 + $21 = $371
So, the total cost of the suit to Roger is **$371**.
The correct answer is **$371**.
1. **Calculate the sales tax**:
- Sales tax = Price of the suit × Sales tax rate
- Sales tax = $350 × 0.06 = $21
2. **Calculate the total cost**:
- Total cost = Price of the suit + Sales tax
- Total cost = $350 + $21 = $371
So, the total cost of the suit to Roger is **$371**.
The correct answer is **$371**.
