Answer:
The cost of the laptop is $769.10
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we are required to find the cost of the laptop when 9.25% of the cost is added as tax
we are given that the tax rate is 9.25% of the initial cost
and the initial cost is $703.98
let us calculate 9.25% of $703.98
(9.25/100)* 703.98= 0.0925*703.98= $65.12
Hence the charges for tax is $65.12
The total cost of the laptop when tax is included is
the initial cost Plus the tax charges= $703.98+$65.12= $769.098
$769.10
