Help meeeee

The price of a new car is $30,000. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what is the total cost for the car, including tax?

Answer 1

$31950

Explanation:

We multiply 30,000 by .065 to get 1950. We ad them together to get $31,950. :)

Answer 2

$31,950 dollars

Explanation:

Given the following question:
Initial price of the car is $30,000...
The car has an increase tax of 6.5% (which means 6.5% of the initial price of the car is the sales tax.)

In order to find the total cost of the car, we need to find 6.5% of $30,000 and then add that number to the initial price to have the answer.


`(6.5*30000)/(100) =6.5*30000=19500/100=1950`

`30000+1950=31950`

`t=31950`

Therefore, the car has the total cost (including tax) of "$31,950 dollars."

Hope this helps.
