To find the sales tax charged on a purchase of $205, you multiply the purchase amount by the tax rate. So, you calculate \( 205 \times 0.084 = 17.22 \). Therefore, the tax charged is $17.22. Now, to find the total cost, you simply add the sales tax to the original purchase price: \( 205 + 17.22 = 222.22 \). Thus, the total cost is $222.22. Here you go! The tax charged is $17.22, and the total cost is $222.22.
