The sales tax rate in a city is 7.27%. How much sales tax is charged on a purchase of 5 headphones at $47.44 each? What is the total price?

First, calculate the pre-tax price:
Pre-tax price = Price per headphone * Number of Headphones
Pre-tax price = $47.44 * 5
Pre-tax price = $237.20

Now calculate the tax amount:
Tax Amount = Pre-Tax Price * (Tax Rate / 100)
Tax Amount = $237.20 * 7.27/100
Tax Amount = $237.20 * 0.0727
Tax Amount = $17.24

Calculate the total price:
Total Price = Pre-Tax price + Tax Amount
Total Price = $237.20 + $17.24
Total Price = $254.44
