Answer:
D. $28908.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Ray Cupple bought a basic car costing $26,500.00, with options costing $725.00.
So the cost of car after options costing will be: [tex]\$26,500+\$725=\$27,225[/tex].
Since there is a 6% sales tax in his state , so the cost of car after sales tax will be $27,225 plus 6% of $27,225.
[tex]\text{Cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27,225+(\frac{6}{100}\times \$27,225)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27,225+(0.06\times \$27,225)[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27,225+\$1,633.50[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of the car after sales tax}=\$28,858.50[/tex]
We are also told that there is a combined $50.00 license and registration fee, so the total cost of car will be $28,858.50 plus $50.
[tex]\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28,858.50+\$50[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28908.50[/tex]
Therefore, the total cost of the car is $28908.50 and option D is the correct choice.
