To find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included, we can use the formula:
Total cost = Listed price + (Listed price * Sales tax rate)
Listed price = $559.99
Sales tax rate = 8.5% = 0.085
Substituting the values into the formula:
Total cost = $559.99 + ($559.99 * 0.085)
Total cost = $559.99 + $47.59915
Total cost = $607.58915
Rounding the answer to the nearest cent:
Total cost ≈ $607.59
Therefore, the total cost of the camera with sales tax included is approximately $607.59.
A camera has a listed price of 559.99 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.
