B. In order to find 7% of the total amount from part A, you would multiply the total amount by 7% written in decimal form (0.07). So, the equation would be: total amount x 0.07 = sales tax amount.

To find 7% of the total amount calculated in part A, you can use a proportion. A proportion is a way to relate two ratios or percentages. In this case, you would multiply the total amount by 7% in decimal form (0.07) to find the sales tax amount. By doing this, you can ensure that you are accurately calculating the 7% sales tax on Sophia's car purchase with the upgrades.
