Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf \$ \ 38.52}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price = $36.00

Sales tax = 7%

Sales tax in $:

= 7% of marked price

= 7% of $36 [Key: "of" means "to multiply"]

= 7/100 * 36

= 0.07 * 36

= $2.52

Selling price:

= Marked price + sales tax

= $36 + $2.52

= $38.52

D. $38.52 is correct
