robert bought a used car for $1,500.00. If the sales tax is 5%, what will be the total that robert had to pay for the car

To find the total cost of the car including sales tax, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the sales tax amount: Multiply the purchase price of the car by the sales tax rate.
- Sales Tax Amount = Purchase Price × Sales Tax Rate

In this case, the purchase price is $6500 and the sales tax rate is 5.75% (or 0.0575).
- Sales Tax Amount = $6500 × 0.0575

2. Compute the total cost: Add the sales tax amount to the purchase price.
- Total Cost = Purchase Price + Sales Tax Amount

Plugging in the values:
- Total Cost = $6500 + ( $6500 × 0.0575)

3. Calculate the result:
- Total Cost = $6500 + $373.75
- Total Cost = $6873.75

Therefore, the total cost of the car, including sales tax, is $6873.75.
