Answer 1

To find the total cost of the repair and sales tax combined at Store B, we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the repair cost at Store B: The cost of the computer repair at Store B is 1,350 dollars.

2. Calculate the sales tax at Store B: The sales tax rate at Store B is 7 percent. We can calculate the sales tax based on the repair cost: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Repair Cost} \times \text{Sales Tax Rate} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Sales Tax} = 1,350 , \text{dollars} \times 0.07 = 94.5 , \text{dollars} \]

3. Calculate the total cost of the repair and sales tax combined: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Repair Cost} + \text{Sales Tax} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 1,350 , \text{dollars} + 94.5 , \text{dollars} = 1,444.5 , \text{dollars} \]
