ddie has saved up $45 to purchase a new camera from the local store. The sales tax in his county is 7% of the sticker price. Write an equation and solve it to determine the value of the highest priced camera Eddie can purchase with his $45, including the sales tax. Round your answer to the nearest penny.

1. x - 0.07x = 45; $48.39
2. 0.7x = 45; x = $64.29
3. 7x = 45; x = $6.43
4. x + 0.07x = 45; x = $42.06
