Answer:

$41.78

Step-by-step explanation:

tax is 4.5% on top of original price of 39.98

so multiplying 39.98 by 1.045 gives us 41.78

you multiply by 1.045 because 4.5% is the same as 0.045 and the 39.98 represents 100% of the price so it is 1 and you are paying 104.5% of that price for it when tax is included
$41.78
you add the price and the sales tax to get the total amount
