five thousand one hundred seventy dollars

five thousand eight hundred thirty dollars

five thousand eight hundred fifty-one dollars

six thousand one hundred dollars

Answer 1

This will be your answer to your problem 5194. this is how i got my answer. 


The car costs $4900 before tax. Tax is 6%. $4900 is 100% of the price of the car. Once she adds the 6% tax she will be paying 106% of the price of the car. 106% of $4900 = 1.06 * $4900 = 5194
