Question

A car that sold for $11,900 has a sales tax of $767. How

much, to the nearest dollar, does a car cost if its sales tax is
$637?

Answer 1

Answer: 9,953

Explanation:

The first step is to find what the sales tax rate is for the first car because it will be the same for the second.

11,900/767 = .064

Now to find the cost of the second car we divide.

637/.064 = 9,953.125 Round to nearest dollar.
