The sales tax in your state is 5% if a car costs $24,600 what is the total cost including tax?

Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

$25830

Step-by-step explanation:

If 100% of the car price is 24,600 , then you can imagine that extra 5% being added to this

100 + 5 = 105

So you need to find what 105% of the cost was.

To do this you can use the percentage formula:

Amount x $\frac{percentage}{100}$

Now, you can simply plug the values into this

24,600 x $\frac{105}{100}$

24600 x 1.05 = 25830

So the total cost including tax would be $25830!

Hope this helps!
