Answer:

$13,648.14

Explanation:

Cost of a used car = $13420

Sale discount = 10%

Sales tax = 13%

Amount of discount = 10% of $13420

= 10/100 * $13420

= $1,342

Amount of sales = Cost of a used car - Amount of discount

= $13420 - $1,342

= $12,078

Amount of tax = 13% of sale amount

= 13/100 * $12,078

= 0.13 * $12,078

= $1,570.14

Total sale price = Amount of sales + Amount of tax

= $12,078 + $1,570.14

= $13,648.14
