Answer:

Car total cost = 17850

Explanations

The sales tax rate = 6.25%

Cost of car = 16800


\begin{gathered} \text{Tax = Tax rate}* Cost\text{ of Car} \\ \text{Tax = 6.25\% }*\text{ 16800} \\ \text{Tax = }(6.25)/(100)*16800 \\ \text{Tax = }1050 \end{gathered}

Car total cost = Cost of car + Tax

Car total cost = 16800 + 1050

Car total cost = 17850
