Answer:The total cost for the car including tax is $27423.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the car that you want is 25,750. If the sales tax rate is 6.5%, it means that the amount of sales tax would be
6.5/100 × 25750 = 0.065 × 25750 = 1673.75
The total cost for the car including tax would be the sum of the initial cost of the car and the amount of tax. It becomes
25750 + 1673.75 = $27423.75
The council tax bill before the increase is £1240
The equation that represents the percentage increase in council tax bill is :
percentage increase x t = £62
Where t represents the initial council tax bill - council tax bill before the 5% increase
5% x t = £62
0.05 x t = £62
Divide both sides of the equation by 0.05
t = £62 / 0.05 = £1240
To check if the answer derived is correct : 5% x 1240 = 62.
