Question

The price of a new car is $29,990. If the sales tax rate is 6.5%, then how much sales tax is being charged? What is the total cost for the car including tax?

Answer 1

29990
10%=29990/10=2999
1%=2999/10=299.90
0.5%=299.90/2=149.95
6%=299.90x6=1799.40
6.5%=1799.50+149.95=$1949.35 tax

total +tax
29990+1949.35=$31395.35

hope this helps
