Question

The amount of sales tax on a new car varies directly to the purchase price of the car. if a $25000 car pays 1750 in sales taxes, what’s the purchase price of a new car with 3500$ in sales tax ?

Answer 1

Answer:

50000

Step-by-step explanation:

$25000 car pays 1750 in sales taxes

P x CP = ST

P is the percentage, CP is the price of the car, and ST is the Sales Tax

P x 25000 = 1750

P = 1750/25000

P = 0.07 x 100

P = 7%

what’s the purchase price of a new car with 3500$ in sales tax ?

P x CP = ST

7 x CP = 3500

CP = 50000
