Answer:
$5,533.33
Step-by-step explanation:
83% sales tax seems a lot, but ok.. anyway...i'm assuming that this is correct.
the final amount that she paid is made up of 2 parts:
100% of the car's price (list price of the car) + 83% of the cars price in taxes
if we add these together, that means she paid
100% + 83% = 183% of the car's price. We are told that this number is $12,200
hence,
183% --------> represents $12,200
1% ------------> represents $(12,200 ÷ 183)
amount in taxes = 83% -------> represents $(12,200 ÷ 183) x 83 = $5,533.33
