Question

Daniel is now going to buy another new car. It will cost him $22,000.00. The options he chooses add $625.00 to its cost. The car license and registration together cost $40.00. The state where he lives has a 6% sales tax. What is the total cost of the car?

Answer 1

The basic car including options costs $22,000.00 + $625.00 = $22,625.00. The sales tax is $22,625.00 × .06 = $1,357.50. Thus, the total cost of the car is $22,625.00 + $1,357.50 + 40.00 = $24,022.50.

Answer 2

$23,985.00

Explanation:

Initial cost of the car is $22,000.00

The option he chooses add $625.00 to initial cost

The car license and registration add up to $40.00

Sales tax is 6%

Sales tax =
`(6)/(100)` × $22,000.00 = $1320.00

Total cost of the car = $22,000.00 + $625.00 + $40.00 + $1320.00 = $23,985.00
