Your question mentions sales tax but you do not provide a rate for that.

To find the total cost or sale price with the given information, follow these steps:

1. Start with the original price or cost of the item, which is $1500.

2. Calculate the discount by taking 7% of $1500. To find 7% of a number, multiply it by 0.07. In this case, 7% of $1500 is (0.07) * $1500 = $105.

3. Subtract the discount from the original price to get the sale price. Since the discount was $105, the sale price would be $1500 - $105 = $1395.

So, the total sale price of the computer after a 7% discount would be $1395.

Please note that in the given information, there is no mention of the sales tax rate, so it cannot be factored into the calculation. If you have the sales tax rate, simply calculate it by multiplying the sale price by the tax rate.
