Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sales tax is 5.6% of the original price. 
So, sales tax=(5.6/100)×$700=$39.20. 
Adding the sales tax to the original price gives the total price, which is $700+$39.20=$739.20. To find the total price, we need to add the sales tax to the original price of $700. 
Sales tax amount = 0.056 x $700 = $39.20 
Total price = $700 + $39.20 = $739.20. Therefore, the best choice is C.
