Answer:
Sales tax= $1,949.35
Total cost of the car including tax= $31,939.35
Step-by-step explanation:
sales tax = 0.065 x $29,990 = $1,949.35
Total cost of the car= car's price + sales tax
Total cost of the car= $29,990 + $1,949.35
Total cost of the car= $31,939.35
Answer: $31939.35
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write the first part of this problem as: What is 6.5% of $29,990.
"Percent" or "%" means "per 100" or "out of 100". Therefore
6.5
%
can be written as
6.5
100
.
When dealing with percentages the word "of" means the product of or to multiply.
Let's call the sales tax amount we are looking for
s
.
We can now write the problem as:
s
=
6.5
100
×
$
29990
s
=
$
194935
100 s= $1949.35
The sales tax on the car is: $1,949.35.
The total price of the car is then:
$29,990.00 + $1,949.35=$31,939.35
