Sales tax is applied to the options also. D.
To find Ray's total cost, we need to calculate the sales tax, add it to the car price and options, and then add the license and registration fee.
According to the information given, the basic car cost $10,150.00 and the options cost $738.00.
To calculate the sales tax, we multiply the total cost of the car and options by the tax rate of 6%.
6% of $10,888 (car cost + options) = $653.28
Now we add the sales tax, the license and registration fee, and the cost of the car and options.
$653.28 + $50.00 + $10,888.00 = $11,591.28
So, the correct answer is D. $11,591.28.
