Danika has saved enough money to pay cash for a used car. She wants to buy a car that costs five thousand five hundred dollars before taxes. If she will be charged six percent sales tax, what is the total amount she will pay for the car?

five thousand one hundred seventy dollars

five thousand eight hundred thirty dollars

five thousand eight hundred fifty-one dollars

six thousand one hundred dollars

Answer 1

this will be your answer to your problem 5194. this is how i got my answer.


The car costs $4900 before tax. Tax is 6%. $4900 is 100% of the price of the car. Once she adds the 6% tax she will be paying 106% of the price of the car. 106% of $4900 = 1.06 * $4900 = 5194
