To find the total cost of the car including upgrades, we add the cost of the car to the cost of the upgrades:
$21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
To find 7% of the total cost, we can use the proportion:
7/100 = x/$23,845.
Now we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
7 * $23,845 = 100x
$166,915 = 100x
x = $166,915 / 100
x = $1,669.15
Therefore, the Georgia sales tax on the car will be approximately $1,669.15.
To find the total loan amount including sales tax, we add the total cost of the car and upgrades to the sales tax amount:
$23,845 + $1,669.15 = $25,514.15.
Therefore, the total loan amount with upgrades including sales tax will be approximately $25,514.
