Dana is purchasing a new car that costs $24,650. Although Dana will be financing her car, she must pay sales tax, title, and tag feed up front. If the sales tax rate is 3.5% and the title and tag fees total $376, what is the total amount that Dana must pay up front?

Respuesta :

Dana must pay $1238.75 upfront.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of car = $24,650

Sales tax = 3.5%

Amount of sales tax = 3.5% of cost of car

Amount of sales tax = [tex]\frac{3.5}{100}*24650[/tex]

Amount of sales tax = [tex]\frac{86275}{100}=\$862.75[/tex]

Amount of title and tag fees = $376

Total upfront amount = Amount of sales tax + Amount of title and tag fees

Total upfront amount = 862.75+376 = $1238.75

Dana must pay $1238.75 upfront.
