Answer 2

Answer:

$ 637.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

original price = $ 600

The sales tax = 6.25 %

                      = 0.0625

The sales tax will be  = 0.0625 ($ 600)

                                    = $ 37.5

The new price will be  = original price  + sales tax

                                      = $ 600 + $ 37.5

                                      = $ 637.5
