Price of the speaker at the music store = 245
Percentage of sales tax that has to be added = 6.5%
Amount of sales tax that has to be added = (6.5/100) * 245
                                                                   = 1592.5/100
                                                                   = 15.925 dollars
Total cost of the speakers including sales tax = (245 + 15.925) dollars
                                                                         = 260.925 dollars
So the total cost of the speakers after including sales tax is $260.92
