0.07(cost of car)=1710

Given that you have already solved this, all you need do is round the decimals to two places.

I may have misunderstood the question. I thought it was asking for the original price before adding 0.07?

espex · Answer

It was asking you for the cost of the car by telling you that if you multiplied it by .07 you would get the 1710

Round to the nearest decimal and I will have the question complete?

espex · Answer

I would do two decimal places, but yes. That is all you have left.
