Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
whelp the answer to your question, the one you put up at least is 16.333 going on infinitely or 16 and 1/3
If c = the cost of one table, the cost of all 25 tables before sales tax is 25·c
Since the sales tax is 5%, or 0.05, the sales tax for 25 tables is 25·c·0.05
Adding the sales tax to the original cost of the 25 tables can give you:
25·c + 25·c·0.05 = 1706.25
1.05·25·c = 1706.25
26.25·c = 1706.25
c =

= 65
so the refund for 5 tables would be 5*65 = $325
I'm assuming the funds earn 5% yearly?
Call x the amount he saves every year. The first year's deposit will be multiplied by 1.05 three times, the next will be multiplied by 1.05 twice, the third will be multiplied by 1.05 once, and the fourth will not generate interest (as it will immediately be used to buy the car).
Therefore, x(1.05^3+1.05^2+1.05+1)=21000, so 4.31x=21000. Dividing by 4.31, we see that x is approximately equal to 4872.
