Question

Suppose that the local sales tax rate is 4% and you purchase a car for $18,000. How much tax is paid? What is the cars total cost?

Answer 1

Step 1:

Cost = $18000

Tax = 4% of $18000

Step 2

`\begin{gathered} Tax\text{ = 4\% of \$18000} \\ \\ Tax\text{ = }(4)/(100)\text{ }*\text{ \$18000} \\ \\ Tax\text{ paid = \$720} \end{gathered}`
