Question

Griffith purchased a used car for $9,400. He paid 6 ½% sales tax. He also paid $225 for the license plate, $75.25 for the transfer of the title, and $59.99 for registration.
How much did he pay for the car with tax?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $10,371.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the sales tax is applied only to the car price, the total is ...

  $9400×1.065 +225 +75.25 +59.99 = $10,371.24

_____

The car price with tax is 9400 + 6.5%×9400 = 9400×(1 + .065).
