1. The total price of the car with upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
2. To find 7% of the total price, we can set up a proportion. Let "x" be the amount of sales tax.
7/100 = x/$23,845
Cross-multiplying, we have:
100x = 7 * $23,845
100x = $166,915
x ≈ $1,669.15
Therefore, the sales tax on the car is approximately $1,669.15.
3. The total of Safia's loan with upgrades INCLUDING sales tax is $23,845 + $1,669.15 = $25,514.15.
