Question

Suppose that the local sales tax is 4% and you buy a car for $17,950. How much tax is due?

Answer 1

718

Explanation:

It can be done this way:

4% of 50.0 is 2.0

4% of 900 is 36

4% of 7000 is 280

4% of 10,000 is 400

add them all up and we have:

400 + 280 + 36 + 2 = 600 + 110 + 8 = 718
