Sophia is buying her first car. She wants a Volkswagon Jetta. It costs $21,345 plus $2,500 for upgrades like floor mats and a sunroof. The Georgia sales tax on the car will be 7%. What will be the total of her loan with upgrades including sales tax? Round to the nearest whole num
First, we need to calculate the sales tax on the car. The cost of the car plus upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $<<21345+2500=23845>>23,845.
Next, we calculate the sales tax amount: $23,845 x 0.07 = $<<23845*0.07=1669.15>>1,669.15.
Finally, we can calculate the total loan amount: $23,845 + $1,669.15 = $<<23845+1669.15=25514.15>>25,514.15
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total loan amount will be $25,514. Answer: \boxed{25,514}.
how did you find 7%
The problem states that the Georgia sales tax on the car is 7%. Therefore, we know that the sales tax rate is 7%.
How do you know find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.
To find 7% of a total, we need to multiply the total by 0.07.
In this case, the total cost of the car with upgrades is $23,845.
To find 7% of $23,845, we would calculate: $23,845 x 0.07 = $1,669.15.
So, the sales tax on the car is $1,669.15.
Apologies for not showing the proportion and work explicitly in the previous response.
