To calculate the total cost of an item priced at $9.79 with a 7% tax, multiply the price by the tax rate to find the sales tax. Then, add the sales tax to the original price, resulting in a total of approximately $10.48 after rounding. This method can be applied to any item by adjusting the price and tax rate accordingly.
