Suppose that the local sales tax rate is 6% and you purchase a car for 32,800

 

How much tax is paid? 

What is the cars total cost? ?

Answer 1

To find out how much tax is paid, multiply the car price by the tax rate.

 

$32800 × 0.06 = $1968

 

The tax paid id $1,968

 

 

To find the car's total price, add the tax paid to the car's original price.

 

$32800 + $1968 = $34768

 

The total cost is $34,768
