To calculate the total cost of the coat including sales tax, you will need to add the sales tax amount to the original price of the coat.
The sales tax rate is given as 7%, which means the tax amount is 7% of the original price.
Step 1: Calculate the sales tax amount
Sales tax amount = (7/100) * Original price
= (7/100) * $500
= $35
Step 2: Add the sales tax amount to the original price
Total cost of the coat = Original price + Sales tax amount
= $500 + $35
= $535
Therefore, the total cost of the coat including sales tax is $535.
