Answer:  The answer is (C) 7%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Santino bought a book for $23.54 and the original price of the book was $22. We are to find the sales-tax rate of the book.

The sales tax on the book will be

S=\$23.54-\$22=\$1.54.

Therefore, the sales tax rate will be

r=\dfrac{1.54}{22}\times 100\%=\dfrac{154}{22}\%=7\%.

Thus, the correct option is (C).

fgiga [73]
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.
