    In this question, we're trying to find the final price of the product.

    We know that the original price was $20.50

    However, the product increased by 2%

    And we also know that a 7% tax rate was applied to the cost.

    First, we need to find the increased price of the product. To find this, we would need to multiply 20.50 by 1.02:

    20.50 · 1.02 = 20.91‬

    Now, we know tax was applied to the increase price, so multiply 20.91‬ by 1.07

    20.91‬ · 1.07 = 22.3737

    Round the nearest hundredths:

    $22.37

    This means that the total cost of the product was $22.37

    Answer:

    $22.37
