Question

suppose that the local sales tax rate is 6.25% and you purchase a used car at 16800 what is the car total cost

Answer 1

Answer:

Car total cost = 17850

Explanations

The sales tax rate = 6.25%

Cost of car = 16800

$\begin{gathered} \text{Tax = Tax rate}\times Cost\text{ of Car} \\ \text{Tax = 6.25\% }\times\text{ 16800} \\ \text{Tax = }\frac{6.25}{100}\times16800 \\ \text{Tax = }1050 \end{gathered}$

Car total cost = Cost of car + Tax

Car total cost = 16800 + 1050

Car total cost = 17850
