To find the total cost, we need to add the sales tax to the original cost of the camera.
Total cost = Cost of camera + Sales tax
Total cost = $920 + 0.05($920)
Total cost = $920 + $46
Total cost = $966
Rounding to the nearest cent gives us $966.00, which is option C. To determine the total cost of a camera that costs $920 with a 5% sales tax, we need to use the expression d + 0.05d, where d is the cost of the camera. Plugging in 920 for d, we get:

920 + 0.05(920) = 920 + 46 = 966

Therefore, the total cost of the camera including sales tax is $966. The closest option to this amount is C) $966.00.
