Question

The price for a new car, without sales tax, is

$18,900. The buyer must also pay a 5% state
sales tax. What is the cost of the car includ-
ing the sales tax?

Answer 1

Explanation:

18900 divided by 10 = 1890

1890 divided by 2 is 945

945 is 5 percent of 18900

18900 + 945 = 17955

Answer = 19845

5% of 18,900
= 945

The price for the car
= $18,900

$18,900 + 5
