Answer 1

We know that

• The sales tax is 6.8%.

,

• The price is $18,600.

,

• The freight charge is $8450.

,

• The registration is $166.

,

• The ownership is $546.

,

• The downpayment is $2,500.

First, let's find the final sale price including the sales tax

`18,600+0.068(18,600)=19,864.80`

Then, we add the other expenses

`19,864.80+8450+166+546=29,026.80`

Now, we subtract the downpayment

`29,026.80-2,500=26,526.80`

Hence, none of the choices are correct because the correct amount is $26,526.80.
