turn 7.25 from a percent into a decimal by multiplying 100 to get .0725
multiply .0725 times 40 which = 2.90
to find the total cost add 2.90 to 40
which = 42.90

This is an obvious one...if the sale price of the item is $40, then the tax would be computed by multiplying $40 by .0725=$2.90, for a total due of $42.90 including tax.

Change the 7.25% to a decimal by dividing by 100 = .0725. Then multiply that number by $40. You will get $2.90

Multiply a one-hundredth of 7.25 by $40 to find out.
For example, if the tax was $6.5 and the item cost $36, then the tax would be 0.065 * $36, or $2.34, and the final cose would be $38.34.
