Answer

Sales tax: $30$ dollars Total cost: $405$ dollars

Work Step by Step

To find the sales tax, multiply the purchase price by the tax percentage. 375 $\times$ 8% which is 375 $\times$ 0.08 375 $\times$ 0.08 = 30. So the sales tax is 30 dollars. To find the total cost, simply add the purchase price plus the sales tax. 30 + 375 = 405. So the total cost is 405 dollars.
