Answer:

Tax: $690. Total cost: $23,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is: (3% of $23,000) added to the original $23,000.

The word <em>of</em> in a problem means multiplication. (3% x 23,000) + 23,000.

3% is 3 out of 100, so that can be put as a fraction, 3/100. Then, you multiply 3/100 by 23,000. That equals 690. The tax is $690. To find the total cost of the car, add $690 + $23,000 to get a total cost of $23,690. Hope this helped. =)
