Answer:

  821.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax is added to the listed price in order to find the total cost. The tax is computed by multiplying the listed price by the tax rate.

  tax = 749.95 × 0.095 = 71.25 . . . . . (rounded up from 74.24525)

  total cost = listed price + tax = 749.95 +71.25 = 821.20

The total cost of the bicycle with sales tax included is 821.20.

Answer:

$821.20 (nearest cent)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sales tax of 9.5% is applied,
the final cost of the bicycle = 100% + 9.5% = 109.5% of its listed price

Convert 109.5% into a decimal:

109.5% = 109.5/100 = 1.095

So 109.5% of $749.95 = 1.095 × 749.95

                                     = $821.20 (nearest cent)
