Answer: $574

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the price of the snowboard before the addition of the tax. This will be represented by x. Therefore,

6% of x = $32.50

0.06 × x = $32.50

0.06x = $32.50

x = $32.50 / 0.06

x = $541.67

Therefore, the total cost including the sales tax will be:

= $541.67 + $32.50

= $574.17

= $574
