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.
To find the total price of the car plus upgrades, we simply add the cost of the car and the cost of the upgrades:
Car price = $21,345
Upgrades = $2,500
Total price = Car price + Upgrades
Total price = $21,345 + $2,500
Total price = $23,845
So, the total price of the car with upgrades is $23,845.
B. 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 price calculated in part A, we can set up a proportion. We know that 7% of the total price is equal to the Georgia sales tax.
Let x be the Georgia sales tax.
We can set up the following proportion:
7/100 = x/23845
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
7 * 23845 = 100 * x
166915 = 100x
Dividing both sides by 100, we find:
x = 166915/100
x = 1669.15
The Georgia sales tax on the car will be $1669.15.
To find the total loan amount, we can add the total price of the car with upgrades to the sales tax:
Total loan amount = Total price + Sales tax
Total loan amount = $23845 + $1669.15
Total loan amount = $25514.15
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the total loan amount including sales tax will be $25,514.
C. What will be the total of Safia's loan with upgrades INCLUDING sales tax? Show your work.
To find the total loan amount with upgrades including sales tax, we need to add the total price of the car with upgrades and the sales tax.
From part A, we know that the total price of the car with upgrades is $23,845.
From part B, we know that the sales tax on the car is $1669.15.
To find the total loan amount, we can add the total price of the car with upgrades and the sales tax:
Total loan amount = Total price + Sales tax
Total loan amount = $23,845 + $1669.15
Total loan amount = $25332.15
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the total loan amount including sales tax will be $25,332.
Milly is selling Girl Scout cookies. She sells 8 boxes every 3 days. How many days will it take her to sell 56 boxes?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the number of days it will take for Milly to sell 56 boxes.
We know that Milly sells 8 boxes every 3 days.
So, we can set up the following proportion:
8 boxes / 3 days = 56 boxes / x days
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
8 * x = 56 * 3
8x = 168
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 168 / 8
x = 21
Therefore, it will take Milly 21 days to sell 56 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
Hunter was paid $72 dollars for 5 hours of raking leaves and mowing the lawn. What was his hourly pay? Round to the nearest dollar.
To find Hunter's hourly pay, we can divide the total amount he was paid by the number of hours he worked.
Hourly pay = Total amount paid / Number of hours worked
Hourly pay = $72 / 5 hours
Hourly pay = $14.4
Rounded to the nearest dollar, Hunter's hourly pay is $14.
