B. How do you know find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.(1 point)
A. The total price of the car plus upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
B. To find 7% of the total in part A, you can set up a proportion:
7/100 = x/$23,845
Cross multiplying, we have:
100x = 7 * $23,845
100x = $83,915
Dividing both sides by 100, we get:
x = $839.15
So, the 7% sales tax on the total in part A is $839.15.
