B. How do you know find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.(1 point)
To find 7% of the total in part A, you can set up a proportion. Let's call the total amount "x".
First, write the proportion:
7% / 100% = x / total
Since 7% can be written as the decimal 0.07 and 100% can be written as the decimal 1, the proportion becomes:
0.07 / 1 = x / total
To solve for "x", cross-multiply:
0.07 * total = 1 * x
Simplifying the equation:
0.07 * total = x
Therefore, to find 7% of the total in part A, you would multiply the total by 0.07.
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 number.
To calculate the total loan amount including upgrades and sales tax, we first need to determine the amount of sales tax on the car.
The cost of the car is $21,345 and the cost of the upgrades is $2,500. The subtotal before sales tax is:
$21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845
To find the sales tax amount, we multiply the subtotal by the sales tax rate:
$23,845 * 7% = $1,669.15 (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we can find the total loan amount by adding the subtotal and the sales tax:
$23,845 + $1,669.15 ≈ $25,514 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the total loan amount with upgrades including sales tax will be approximately $25,514.

To find 7% of the total in part A, we can follow a similar process as explained in the previous response.
Let's call the total in part A as "Total".
To find 7% of the Total, we will set up a proportion:
7% / 100% = x / Total
Since 7% can be written as the decimal 0.07 and 100% can be written as the decimal 1, the proportion becomes:
0.07 / 1 = x / Total
To solve for "x", we cross-multiply:
0.07 * Total = 1 * x
Simplifying the equation:
0.07 * Total = x
Therefore, to find 7% of the Total, you multiply the Total by 0.07.
This process allows us to calculate the specific amount that represents 7% of the given Total.
A. What will be the total of the car price plus upgrades? Show your work.
(1 point)
To calculate the total of the car price plus upgrades, we add the cost of the car ($21,345) to the cost of the upgrades ($2,500):
$21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845
Therefore, the total of the car price plus upgrades is $23,845.
