How did you find 7% of your total in the first part? Show your proportion and work. Explain your process.
Apologies for the previous error. To find 7% of the total price, we need to multiply the total price by 7% (or 0.07).
The total price of the car plus upgrades is $23,845.
To find 7% of $23,845, we can set up a proportion:
7/100 = x/23845
Cross-multiply:
100x = 7 * 23845
Simplify:
100x = 166915
Divide both sides by 100:
x = 166915 / 100
x ≈ 1669.15
Therefore, the 7% sales tax on the car will be approximately $1669.15.
