Question

Marsha bought a new car for $21,152.25.

The options she picked cost $2,150. The
sales tax was $1,007.25. What was the base
price of Marsha's car?

Answer 1

$17,995

Explanation:

If you want to find the base, find out how much it costs without the options and the sales tax as they're just taxes and etc added to the car.

2,150 + 1,007.25 = 3157.25 (Total amount of taxes)

21,152.25 - 3157.25 = 17,995

Answer 2

17,995

Explanation:

21,152.25 - (2,150 + 1,007.25) = 17,995
