Answer:
C. $28,908.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Ray Cupple bought a basic car costing $26,500.00, with options costing $725.00.
First of all let us find the cost of car after options costing.
[tex]\text{Cost of car}=\$26500+\$725[/tex]
[tex]\text{Cost of car}=\$27225[/tex]
Now let us find cost of car after sales tax.
[tex]\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+(\frac{6}{100}*\$27225)[/tex]
[tex]\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+(0.06*\$27225)[/tex]
[tex]\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$27225+\$1633.5[/tex]
[tex]\text{The cost of the car after sales tax}=\$28858.5[/tex]
Now let us add license and registration fee to the cost of car after sales tax to get the total cost of car.
[tex]\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28858.5+\$50[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost of the car}=\$28908.5[/tex]
Therefore, the total cost of the car was $28908.5 and option C is the correct choice.
