A. $35,162.50
B. $35,165.50
C. $35,140.00
D. $33,175.00

Answer 1

Basic car $8,250.00 + extras $324.00 = $8,574. 6% tax on $8,574 = 8,574/100*6 = $514.44 $50.00 license and registration fee must be added. John's total cost = 8,574 + 514.44 + 50 = $9,138.44.

Answer 2

$32,750 + $375 = 33125
$33,125 * .06= 1987.50
$33,125+$1987.50= $35,112.50
$35,112.50+$50=$35,162.50

A. $35,162.50
