John Gray bought a basic car for $32,750.00, with options that cost $375.00. There's a 6% sales tax in his state and a combined $50.00 license and registration fee. What was John's total cost

Answer 1

$32,750.00 + $375.00 = $33,125.00
6% of that is $1,987.50 (33,125 x 0.06)
$1,987,50 + $33,125 + $50=
$35,162.50

Answer 2

The total cost of the car be $35162.5 .

Explanation:

As given

John Gray bought a basic car for $32,750.00, with options that cost $375.00.

Cost of the car = Car cost + Option cost

= $32750 + $375

= $33125

As given

There's a 6% sales tax in his state .

6% is written in the decimal form.

`= (6)/(100)`

= 0.06

Sales tax price = 0.06 × 33125

= $ 1987.5

As given

A combined $50.00 license and registration fee.

Than

Total cost of the car = Cost of the car + Sales tax price + license and registration fee.

= $33125 + $ 1987.5 + $ 50

= $35162.5

Therefore the total cost of the car be $35162.5 .
