Question

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

four thousand six hundred six dollars

five thousand one hundred ninety-four dollars

five thousand two hundred thirteen dollars

five thousand five hundred dollars

Answer 1

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
This multiplication will give you the answer.
