To find the total cost of the laptop including sales tax, let's calculate it step-by-step.

1. **Identify the original price and tax rate:**
   - Original price = $795.95
   - Sales tax rate = 6.25%

2. **Calculate the sales tax:**
   \[
   \text{Sales Tax} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100} = 795.95 \times \frac{6.25}{100} = 49.746875
   \]

3. **Add the sales tax to the original price to get the total cost:**
   \[
   \text{Total Cost} = \text{Original Price} + \text{Sales Tax} = 795.95 + 49.75 = 845.70
   \]

**Rounded to the nearest cent, the total cost of the laptop is $845.70.**

Here are some related questions for further practice:
1. How would the total cost change if the tax rate were 8% instead of 6.25%?
2. If you had a discount of 10% on the laptop, what would be the new cost before tax?
3. How much sales tax would be applied to a price of $600 at the same 6.25% rate?
4. How would you calculate the tax if it were an inclusive tax rather than added after the subtotal?
5. If the tax rate were only 5%, what would the total cost of the laptop be?

**Tip:** To quickly calculate sales tax, multiply the original price by $1 + \frac{\text{Tax Rate}}{100}$ for the total directly.

A laptop has a listed price of $795.95 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 6.25%, find the total cost of the laptop with sales tax included. Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.
