Question

. John Gray bought a basic car for $8,250.00, with options that cost $324.00. There's a 6% sales tax in

his state and a combined $50.00 license and registration fee. What was John's total cost?
A. $9,141.44
B. $14,247.00
C. $9,138.44
D. $10,000.00

Answer 1

Cost of basic car = $8250
Optional cost = $324
Total cost of basic car and optional items for John= (8250 + 324) dollars
= 8574 dollars
Then
Percentage of sales tax = 6%
Amount of sales tax = 8574 * (6/100) dollars
= 514.44 dollars
License and registration fee combined = $50
Then total cost of John in regards to buying the car = 8574 + 514.44 + 50
= 9138.44 dollars
So option "C" is the correct option in regards to the question given.
