Sophia is buying her first car. She wants a Volkswagon Jetta. It costs $21,345 plus $2,500 for upgrades like floor mats and a sunroof. The Georgia sales tax on the car will be 7%. What will be the total of her loan with upgrades including sales tax? Round to the nearest whole number.
A. What will be the total of the car price plus upgrades? Show your work.
B. How do you know to find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.
C. What will be the total of Safia's loan with upgrades INCLUDING sales tax? Show your work.
A. The total cost of the car price plus upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
B. To find 7% of the total cost in part A, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the 7% of $23,845.
(7/100)x = 23,845
Cross multiplying:
100x = 7 * 23,845
100x = 166,915
Dividing both sides by 100:
x = 166,915 / 100
x = 1,669.15
Therefore, 7% of $23,845 is $1,669.15.
C. To find the total of Safia's loan with upgrades including sales tax, we add the total cost of the car plus the 7% sales tax.
Loan total = Total cost of the car + 7% sales tax
Loan total = $23,845 + $1,669.15 = $25,514.15
Therefore, the total of Safia's loan with upgrades including sales tax will be $25,514.
Show work on A.
Apologies for the confusion. Let's show work for part A again.
To find the total cost of the car price plus upgrades, we add the cost of the car price and the upgrades.
Car price: $21,345
Upgrades: $2,500
Total cost = Car price + Upgrades
Total cost = $21,345 + $2,500
Total cost = $23,845
Therefore, the total cost of the car price plus upgrades is $23,845.
