with sales tax?

Answer 1

$17,280

Explanation:

Given

• Cost of car = $16,000
• Sales tax = 8%

Solving :

• When sales tax is added to the cost, the final cost will be 8% more than 16,000 or 108% of 16,000
• 16,000 x 1.08
• $17,280 is the actual price of the car with tax

• 0.08(16000)
• 8(160)
