  C. $28,908.50
  D. $28,911.50

Answer 1

C. $28,908.50

Explanation:

We have been given that Ray Cupple bought a basic car costing $26,500.00, with options costing $725.00.

First of all let us find the cost of car after options costing.

`\text{Cost of car}=\$26500+\$725`

`\text{Cost of car}=\$27225`

Now let us find cost of car after sales tax.

`\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+((6)/(100)*\$27225)`

`\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+(0.06*\$27225)`

`\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+\$1633.5`

`\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$28858.5`

Now let us add license and registration fee to the cost of car after sales tax to get the total cost of car.

`\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28858.5+\$50`

`\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28908.5`

Therefore, the total cost of the car was $28908.5 and option C is the correct choice.
