Answer:

$23,985.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial cost of the car is $22,000.00

The option he chooses add $625.00 to initial cost

The car license and registration add up to $40.00

Sales tax is 6%

Sales tax = [tex]\frac{6}{100}[/tex] × $22,000.00 = $1320.00

Total cost of the car = $22,000.00 + $625.00 + $40.00 + $1320.00 = $23,985.00

The basic car including options costs $22,000.00 + $625.00 = $22,625.00. The sales tax is $22,625.00 × .06 = $1,357.50. Thus, the total cost of the car is $22,625.00 + $1,357.50 + 40.00 = $24,022.50.
