The cost of the car is $21,345.
The cost of the upgrades is $2,500.
So, the total cost of the car with upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
The sales tax in Georgia is 7%.
So, the sales tax on the car with upgrades is $23,845 * 7% = $1,669.15.
Therefore, the total loan amount including sales tax is $23,845 + $1,669.15 = $25,514.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total loan amount will be $25,514. Answer: \boxed{25,514}.
How do you know find 7% of your total in part A? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.
To find 7% of the total cost of the car with upgrades ($23,845), you can set up a proportion.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
7/100 = x/$23,845
The first ratio is 7 (representing 7%) out of 100, while the second ratio is the unknown value (x) out of the total cost of the car with upgrades ($23,845).
To solve for x, you can cross-multiply and then divide:
7 * $23,845 = 100 * x
167,115 = 100x
x = 167,115 / 100
x ≈ 1,671.15
Therefore, 7% of $23,845 is approximately $1,671.15.
