A camera has a listed price of $505.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales tax included.

Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.

Change the sales tax to a decimal which would be 0.085 and multiply that by 505.95$ to get 43$ which is the sales tax, then add that to the original amount 505.95$ to get the total cost after tax which is 548.96$ rounded to the nearest cent.
