Sophia is excited about buying her first car, and she has her heart set on a Volkswagon Jetta. The car itself costs $21,345, but she also wants to add some upgrades like floormats and a sunroof, which will cost an additional $2,500. However, she needs to take into account the sales tax in Georgia, which is 7%.
To determine the total loan amount for Sophia's car with upgrades and sales tax, we need to add the cost of the car, the cost of the upgrades, and the sales tax. The car cost is $21,345, and the upgrades amount to $2,500, bringing the total car cost with upgrades to $23,845.
Calculating the sales tax, which is 7% on the total car cost with upgrades, we find that it amounts to $1,669.15.
To find the total loan amount, we add the car cost with upgrades to the sales tax amount, resulting in $25,514.15. Rounding to the nearest whole number, Sophia's total loan amount for her car with upgrades, including sales tax, will be $25,514.

To find 7% of the total car cost with upgrades, we can set up a proportion:
(7/100) = x/(23845)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
100x = 7 * 23845
100x = 166915
x = 166915/100
x = 1669.15
Therefore, 7% of the total car cost with upgrades is $1669.15.
