Answer:

$870.16 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Original cost = $801.99
Sales tax of 8.5%

In order to find the answer, we find 8.5% of the original cost of the camera. After that, we simply add that number to the original cost of the camera to find our answer.

[tex]\frac{8.5\times801.99}{100} =8.5\times801.99=6816.915\div100=68.16915[/tex]
[tex]68.16915[/tex]
[tex]9>5[/tex]
[tex]68.17[/tex]

Sales tax is $68.17

[tex]801.99+68.17=870.16[/tex]

Total price for the camera including tax is "$870.16."

Hope this helps.
