Question

Sarah paid $1,932 in tax on her new car which had a purchase price of $80,500 .

Answer 1

Answer:

so when looking at the tax minus the cost

100%/x%=80500/1932

(100/x)*x=(80500/1932)*x      

100=41.666666666667*x      

100/41.666666666667 or 6 infinite will get us

2.4=x

x=2.4

so times 2.4% with every cost to see it it matches the tax given!
