Answer 1

• You know that the sales tax rate for Morgan County is 5.95%

To write it as a Decimal number, you need to divide it by 100:

`(5.95)/(100)=0.0595`

To calculate the state sales tax on the $15,700 car in Morgan County, you need to apply this operation:

`(15,700dollars)(0.0595)=934.15dollars`

• Therefore, the final cost of the car in Morgan County, including tax, can be found as following:

`15,700dollars+934.15dollars=16,634.15dollars`

• Subtract the final cost of the car in South Salt Lake (including tax) and the final cost of the car in Morgan County (including tax), in order to calculate the amount of money you would save by driving to Morgan County to purchase the car:
