Answer 2

The total cost of the motorcycle is $4187 .

Explanation:

As given

Glenn Andrews recently bought a motorcycle for $3,950 if he had to pay 6% sales tax on the bike .

6% is written in the decimal form.

`= (6)/(100)`

= 0.06

Sales tax price = 0.06 × 3950

= $237

Total cost of the motorcycle = Motorcycle cost + Sales tax price

= $ 3950 + $237

= $ 4187

Therefore the total cost of the motorcycle is $4187 .
