To solve the problem, we'll follow the steps as outlined.
Step 1: Determine 7.25% of $199.00.
To calculate 7.25% of $199.00, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Tax} = \text{Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100}\right) \]
Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Tax} = 199.00 \times \left(\frac{7.25}{100}\right) \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Tax} = 199.00 \times 0.0725 = 14.4275 \]
Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth:
\[ \text{Tax} \approx 14.43 \]
Step 2: Determine the total price of the snake including the tax.
Now, we need to add the tax to the original price:
\[ \text{Total Price} = \text{Original Price} + \text{Tax} \]
Substituting the values we have:
\[ \text{Total Price} = 199.00 + 14.43 = 213.43 \]
Finally, rounding to the nearest hundredth:
\[ \text{Total Price} \approx 213.43 \]
Final Answers:
- Tax: $14.43
- Total Price: $213.43
