,, there is a 5% sales tax on the price of the car " - how you think what mean this ?

MagnusMentula · Answer

Combine original price with the licensing fee, get 14.222.29. Multiply by 0.05 to get 5%. Add that number to 14,222.29 to get the final answer:
14,933.4045. Round as needed.

MagnusMentula · Answer

Now that there are answer choices, I'm going to do it again, but wait to add the licensing fee.

13786 * 0.05 = 689.3
13786 + 689.3 = 14475.3
14475.3 + 436.29 = 14911.59
...
still not close to any of the given answers.
