Answer:

C. $319.93

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jasmine bought a game system that  cost $299 before tax. The sales tax  was 0.07 times the price.

The cost of game system after tax would be $299 plus 0.07 times $299.

[tex]\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299+0.07\times \$299[/tex]

[tex]\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299(1+0.07)[/tex]

[tex]\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$299(1.07)[/tex]

[tex]\text{The cost of game system after tax}=\$319.93[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of the game system  including the sales tax would be $319.93.
