Answer:
$15,030.02
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The cost of the car = $15867.00
Sales tax = 5.25% = 0.0525
Total cost = Cost of the car + sales tax
= $15,867 + $(15,867 x 0.0525)
= $15,867.00 + $833.02
= $16,700.02
The down payment is 10% of 16700.02
10% of the total cost = 0.1 x $16,700.02 = $1,670.00
Principal balance = Total cost - down payment
= $16,700.02 - $1,670.00
= $15,030.02
