Answer:The total cost for the car including tax is $27423.75

Explanation:

The initial price of the car that you want is 25,750. If the sales tax rate is 6.5%, it means that the amount of sales tax would be

6.5/100 × 25750 = 0.065 × 25750 = 1673.75

The total cost for the car including tax would be the sum of the initial cost of the car and the amount of tax. It becomes

25750 + 1673.75 = $27423.75
