First, we need to calculate the amount of the discount by multiplying the original price ($36) by the discount rate (25% or 0.25): $36 * 0.25 = $<<36*0.25=9>>9.
Then, we subtract the discount from the original price to find the sale price: $36 - $9 = $<<36-9=27>>27.
Next, we calculate the tax amount by multiplying the sale price ($27) by the tax rate (7% or 0.07): $27 * 0.07 = $<<27*0.07=1.89>>1.89.
Finally, we add the sale price ($27) and the tax amount ($1.89) to find the total cost: $27 + $1.89 = $<<27+1.89=28.89>>28.89. Answer: \boxed{28.89}.
